STUDIES ON MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTING FHB AND DON IN MULTIPLE GRAIN CLASSES, ND

Project Title 1 - Greenhouse Studies of DON in Wheat as Influenced by Environment and F.g. Isolate: Continue to gather data on differential effects of moisture duration, growth stage at inoculation, and Fusarium isolate on FHB and DON development in susceptible and moderately resistant hard red spring wheat and durum cultivars, in controlled greenhouse inoculation experiments. Project Title 2 - Uniform Evaluation of Fungicides for FHB Control in Multiple ND Grain Classes: North Dakota produces three spring grain classes that often are affected by Fusarium head blight. Project Title 3 - Integrated Management Studies for the Reduction of FHB and DON in Multiple Grain Classes, ND: Four investigators in ND will look at two to three management strategies for reducing FHB and DON on multiple grain classes. The four investigators will look at these four crops in different environments across the state.
