[Fhb-update_ma] FHB Update from DE, 05/05/15

[FHB Updates - Mid Atlantic SWW Region]

Most Delaware wheat is at or near flag leaf (FGS 8). Warmer temperatures in
the forecast will speed up development, likely putting us in flowering
around the 15th of May. Current forecasts are calling for dry, hot weather
over the next two weeks which, if this occurs, will result in low scab risk
levels. Check back next week for updates.
