Fusarium Head Scab Management

 

  1. Select variety with highest possible resistance (no varieties are completely resistant), see variety trial information or fact sheet below for variety ratings

  2. Manage residue and avoid planting into corn residue

  3. Monitor conditions and use fungicide as needed. Spray timing should be approximately 2 to 5 days after 50 percent of the heads have begun flowering, or 5 to 7 days after most heading (pictured). See the Wheat Fungicide Efficacy Chart for products registered for head scab management.

  4. Forecasting model www.wheatscab.psu.edu, which can give you an idea of your area’s risk based on weather data

Foliar Disease Management

 

  1. Select varieties that are resistant to foliar diseases, find MI variety trial reports or search their database at https://varietytrials.msu.edu/wheat/

  2. Scout for diseases throughout the season, and monitor if conditions are favorable for disease development
