Most wheat is at flag leaf or the boot stage in many parts of Delaware, and
some early-planted wheat in Southern regions of Maryland are starting to
head out. Once wheat has headed, expect flowering to start in 3-5 days,
Currently there is a chance for rain in the forecast within the next 5-7
days. However, dry weather over the past 2-3 weeks has not been favorable
for spore production and disease potential. I do not expect the forecasted
rains will have a significant impact on FHB risk forecasts over the next
week given our recent dry spell.
