Management of Fusarium Head Blight in Small Grains

Project 1: A Field Nursery for Testing Transgenic Spring Wheat and Barley from the USWBSI: Establish an annual nursery to provide a central field testing site for transgenic spring wheat, durum and barley lines developed by researchers in the USWBSI. Project 2: Developing More Robust Integrated Management Guidelines to Minimize Losses Due to FHB and DON in What and Barley in MN: identify management combinations that are effective, yet robust enough to allow growers more flexibility when managing FHB/DON. Project 3: Influence of Variable Pre-anthesis Rainfall Patterns on FHB and DON in Wheat: Investigate the specific effects of intermittent moisture during the 7-day pre-anthesis window on FHB and DON.
