[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/07/20

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

Wheat in Southeast and South Central Kansas is now at the heading and
flowering stages of growth.  These growth stages are most vulnerable
to Fusarium head blight (head scab).  The risk model currently
indicates a moderate level of risk for parts of Southeast Kansas, and
growers in these areas should be preparing to apply fungicides when
conditions allow. The best available options include Prosaro, Caramba
and Miravis Ace.  Products containing Strobilurin active ingredients
are not labeled for Fusarium and these products should be avoided in
areas at moderate or high risk of head blight.
