Optimal Use of The Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Tool

With the recent rain blast and rain forecast in the next week, coupled with the wheat crop starting to move into flowering within the next 7-14 days, it is important to start thinking about Fusarium head blight risk.  I recently wrote an expanded article on the use of the FHB prediction tool that can be found by clicking here.

Some early flowering varieties will likely flower by the weekend.  Most varieties are near flag leaf and will require another 7 – 10 days, depending on weather, before they will begin to flower.
