Plant Pathologist Commentary:

Important Note: Please review Terms of Use before utilizing this site. This Fusarium Head Blight (FHB, or 'scab') model is a pre-flowering model. It is meant to be applied using weather conditions during the week leading up to flowering. Therefore, the epidemic risk for a particular field should be determined by selecting a time coinciding with or just prior to the initiation of flowering in that field. A growth stage estimator is available on this website, but you should still monitor growth in your own fields to better estimate the date on which flowering begins.
