Wheat has started to flower across Delaware. Expect flowering in later
varieties to continue into next week. With the exception of a few pop up
showers last week, Delaware has been very hot and dry, which is not
favorable for scab. Individuals irrigating fields should aim to fill the
soil profile by full head emergence. Irrigation should be avoided during
flowering up until soft dough if possible.
