Fusarium Head Blight Control
Author: Timothy Stombaugh
Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering
Major Program: Grains
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Fusarium Head Blight is currently the most economically important wheat disease in the U.S. and Canada. Control of the disease requires complete coverage of fungicides on the maturing wheat head. Collaborative efforts between Plant Pathologists and Biosystems and Agricultural Engineers have identified best management practices for applying fungicides to the crop. They have evaluated the best nozzle technology and application methods to achieve proper chemical coverage and efficacy. They are also evaluating different platforms including drones as alternatives to achieve timely fungicide application.
