[Fhb-update_ma] FHB Update from PA, 05/09/19

[FHB Updates - Mid Atlantic SWW Region]

Wheat that is flowering now or in the next several days in southern PA
should be sprayed for scab if at all possible. Weather conditions are
conducive for infection in most regions of the state. If spraying at early
flowering is not possible, a fungicide application up to 6 days later will
provide some suppression of the disease. Keep an eye on your label to
understand post-harvest interval restrictions.
