[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from OK, 06/06/11

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

Harvest is occurring or starting across all of Oklahoma, so observations and reports of disease occurrence are about at an end.  The only disease observations that have come to my attention are a number of samples from the OK panhandle that came into the diagnostic lab last week and tested positive for various combinations of wheat streak mosaic virus, wheat mosaic virus (high plains virus), Triticum mosaic virus, and barley yellow dwarf virus.  This is similar to the panhandle of Texas as indicated by the report from Dr. Jacob Price (below) who is located in Amarillo, TX.
