Research Project: Field Research for Management of Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) in Small Grains

Location: Crop Production and Protection

Project Number: 0500-00053-005-124-G
Project Type: Grant

Start Date: May 1, 2022
End Date: Apr 30, 2026

Objective:
(1) Evaluate integrated effects of fungicide treatment and genetic resistance on FHB and DON in small grains. (2) Compare efficacy of fungicides. (3) Generate data to quantify the economic benefit of management programs.

Approach:
Field experiments will be established at multiple locations in North Dakota (i.e. Fargo, Grand Forks, Langdon, Nesson Valley, Minot, and Prosper). Seven uniform fungicide trials and five integrated management trials will be conducted across spring barley, spring durum, and/or hard red spring wheat.
