[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/07/19

[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 3-5 days. The model is indicating moderate or
high 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. Care should be taken to select an effective
fungicide for management of FHB with Prosaro, Caramba and Miravis Ace being
the best options. Many other fungicides are less effective or are not
labeled for Fusarium suppression.
