Wheat in Maryland has either already flowered or is finishing-up flowering. The FHB prediction map shows high FHB risk. If your wheat is still in the window for FHB fungicide application (from flowering up to the following 4-7 days) you should consider the application of FHB fungicides: Miravis-Ace, Prosaro, Prosaro-Pro, or Sphaerex. These fungicides are also effective against other foliar fungal diseases such as stripe rust, powdery mildew, and tan-spot etc. Strobilurin-containing fungicides are not recommended for application at this stage.
