The wheat and barley production season is complete and the Fusarium Prediction Center is no longer developing daily maps of disease risk. Most areas of the current risk map are shaded gray, indicating that the crops are well past these critical growth stages for Fusarium infection. Users can access risk maps from earlier in the growing season by selecting the dates of interest from the assessment date calendar. These historical assessments of disease are most accurate for dates matching the time periods when the location crop was at the heading and flowering stages of growth.
