FHB Updates - Mid Atlantic SWW Region fhb-update_ma at scabusa.org

The risk of scab has increased to a moderate to high level for Kent and
Sussex counties due to the warm weather and showers experienced over the
weekend. Wheat is beginning to flower or is a few days past flowering in
some areas, and near flowering in others. Fungicide applications should be
considered for wheat in flower in high risk areas. Fungicides can be applied
up to 5 days past the start of flowering and still provide FHB suppression.
Wheat that has not yet flowered is not susceptible. Suggested fungicides
include Caramba, Prosaro, and Proline. No fungicide containing a group 11
active ingredient should be used. Examples include Headline, Quadris, and
Quilt. The cooler temperatures expected throughout the week are likely to
reduce FHB risk levels.
