Objective:
Initiate field studies on chemical and biological control of Fusarium head blight in South Dakota to evaluate products and methods for consistency in performance over a wide number of environments and across grain types affected by Fusarium head blight.

Approach:
Fungicide trials will be established on hard red spring wheat and hard red winter wheat at multiple sites in South Dakota and will reflect uniform fungicide treatment and uniform biological control treatments for FHB. Aerial application equipment will be used to optimize fungicide application from the air using currently available equipment.
