Objectives of this Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) Management Coordinated Project are to: 1) Evaluate the integrated effects of fungicide treatment and genetic resistance on FHB and DON in all major grain classes, with emphasis on new combination fungicides, Prosaro Pro® and Sphaerex®; 2) Compare the efficacy of Prosaro Pro and Sphaerex to that of Prosaro®, Caramba®, and Miravis Ace®; 3) Generate data to further quantify the economic benefit of FHB and DON management programs and 4) Generate data to validate and advance the development of FHB risk prediction models.
Approach:
The approach will be to conduct the standard coordinated protocol for the MGMT-IM category for Wisconsin. The standard protocol is aimed at addressing all four objectives above. The data will be supplied to coordinating project managers as requested.
