Location: Crop Production and Protection
Project Number: 0500-00053-005-194-G
Project Type: Grant
Start Date: May 1, 2026
End Date: Apr 30, 2030
Objective:
1. Evaluate fungicide and genetic resistance on FHB and DON, with emphasis on new fungicides.
2. Compare the efficacy of Prosaro Pro, Sphaerex, and Miravis “Era” to that of Prosaro and Miravis Ace.
3. Compare the efficacy and economic benefit of FHB forecast-based programs to that of calendar/growth stage-based programs.
Approach:
Integrated field management experiments with barley will investigate the effects of cultivar resistance and fungicide treatment on FHB and DON accumulation. Fungicide programs include new
combinations of active ingredients either as tank-mixtures or as sequentially applied treatments. A FHB forecast-based fungicide program will also be included in the trials.
