Goals / Objectives
Determine level of effective FHB resistance in advanced lines and widely grown cultivars needed in irrigation systems in the western US.

Project Methods
1) Establish a field screening nursery; 2) Characterize FHB resistance in spring barley and wheat cultivars; 3) Determine the effectiveness of fungicide application in reducing symptoms and DON levels under irrigation.
