Welcome to the Fusarium Head Blight Risk Assessment Tool for 2016! If you
are new to this risk tool or haven’t used it in a while, please click and
read the “User Guide” on the left hand side of your screen. The first
paragraph has the main steps to get you started with the model.
Our small grains in PA got head start on growth due to warm conditions this
spring. If you intend to protect your barley from Fusarium head blight
(a.k.a. head scab), be prepared to spray a triazole fungicide in the next
few days. See my article here for details:

Right now the wheat in the lower part of the state is anywhere between
Feekes 7 and 8. I’ll update this commentary with more frequency as we
approach heading in PA. If you’d like to receive updates directly to your
e-mail or via text, please sign up at http://scabusa.org/fhb_alerts.
