[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 06/05/13

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

The wheat in Kansas is now mostly past the flowering stages of growth in
central and eastern KS where FHB is most likely to occur. A few areas of
moderate risk persist in the Southeast, but wheat in this area should be in
the dough stages of kernel development. I did note a trace of FHB in
Northeast KS this week. I am not expecting severe disease in this area, but
farmers should monitor their fields for signs of disease. The wheat in
Northeast KS is past growth stages when fungicides could be applied.
