[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/03/19

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

Wheat in southeastern and south-central Kansas is at heading stages of
development. Wheat in these areas will reach the growth stages critical for
Fusarium in roughly week to 5-7 days. The model is indicating moderate risk
of severe disease just as we head into the most vulnerable period of growth.
The risk is likely to persist or increase if these regions continue to
receive frequent rainfall and extended periods of high relative humidity.
Growers in southeastern and south central Kansas should be monitoring
situation carefully and planning to apply a fungicide if weather conditions
remain favorable.
