Objective:
- Determine the most viable Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) and mycotoxin management solutions for Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.
- Provide feedback for refinement of FHB forecasting models.
- Deliver education and outreach to stakeholders regarding barley crop management for improved quality and yield.
Approach:
- Conduct integrated management trials in two Pennsylvania locations to evaluate selected fungicide chemistries, application timings, and variety selection for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) reduction.
- Conduct uniform fun icide trials in two Pennsylvania locations to evaluate fungicide products, application timings, and economics for FHB reduction
- Provide presentations, workshops, field tours, newsletters, and commentary to the FHB risk tool.
