Goals / Objectives
Determine which products or experimental chemicals provide the best control of Fusarium head blight across a range of environments in Michigan.

Project Methods
Establish fungicide trails on soft white winter wheat at four plot locations, including the uniform fungicide treatments designated by the Chemical and Biological Control Group and expand testing fungicides beyond those in the uniform fungicide trials.
