Fusarium head blight for Virginia continues to be to high throughout the
state due to recent wet, warm weather. Most of the wheat is past the
flowering stage and no longer at risk, but later flowering wheat may still
need a fungicide application. Triazole fungicides including Prosaro,
Caramba, and Proline are recommended. For wheat that is past flowering, a
fungicide application will not reduce FHB or DON contamination of the grain.
