[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/16/15

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

The winter wheat models are showing an area of moderate risk for central and
northeastern Kansas. Many fields in south central and central regions of the
state are already past flowering when the crop is most vulnerable for
infection by Fusarium. Some fields in north central and northeastern Kansas
may be at risk for infection. Fields that are at flowering or within the 30
day pre-harvest interval may benefit from an application of triazole
fungicide such as Prosaro or Caramba. Products containing strobilurin
fungicides should be avoided.
