Current agronomic practices to reduce vomitoxin levels include planting moderately resistant wheat cultivars and fungicide applications at beginning flowering (Feekes 10.5.1 growth stage). This project is examining whether additional agronomic practices may potentially lower vomitoxin levels.
Read MoreThe overall objective of the research trials were to develop the best recommendations for managing Fusarium head blight (FHB; also known as scab) and the associated mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON; also known as vomitoxin) with foliar fungicides. The specific objective of each trial differed, and details and results of these trials are provided below.
Read MoreEvery year, vomitoxin levels caused by Fusarium graminearum, in soft red winter wheat are of major concern to wheat producers and millers. Current agronomic practices to reduce vomitoxin levels include planting moderately resistant wheat cultivars and fungicide applications at Feekes 10.5.1.
