INTEGRATED FHB MANAGEMENT RESEARCH - SOUTH DAKOTA

Project Title 1: Uniform Fungicide and Biocontrol Agent Test for Control of FHB and DON on Wheat and Barley in South Dakota. This is a standard uniform efficacy trial of several fungicide products and protocols, which will be evalutaed at numerous locations and across several grain classes throughout the U.S. Project Title 2: Integrated Management of FHB and DON in Spring Wheat, Winter Wheat, and Barley in South Dakota. 1) Evaluate the integrated effects of fungicide and genetic resistance of FHB and DON three major grain classes; 2) Conduct a quantitative synthesis of the integrated effects of fungicide and resistance on FHB/DON and the influence of region-specific factors on the overall efficacy on this integrated approach; and 3) Develop "best-management practices" for FHB and DON.
