[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/18/20

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

Wheat in Eastern and 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 and high level of risk for many parts of these
regions, 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.
