Wheat in Maryland is anywhere from booting to flowering. Currently, the
overall risk for Fusarium Head blight is predicted to be low, because of the
preceding dry weeks. Growers with late planted wheat should keep a close
watch on the weather in the weeks to come, and should be prepared to apply a
fungicide if weather conditions persist to be humid. The fungicides most
effective against FHB and DON contamination are Prosaro, Caramba, and
Proline are the most effective and these fungicides will also control
against foliar diseases, of which stripe rust has been a concern this
season.
