Scab risk update: Scab risk remains moderate to high for several areas of the state. The areas of greatest concern are east of the Missouri River, NW ND, and NE ND. Sporadic rain storms and long dew periods will likely keep risk elevated.

Reminders about FHB/scab timing. Our target for HRSW and durum is at early-flowering and up to 7 days after . For barley, our target is at full-head and up to 7 days later. Research suggests a fungicide applied during these stages provides good FHB and DON/VOM suppression.

Scab risk update: The weather from this past weekend has increased scab risk for a large majority of ND. High humidity, prolonged dews, and rain are very favorable for scab. A view from our NDSU Small Grain Disease Model:

Came across bacterial leaf streak in both hard red spring wheat and spring barley today. Starting to receive more reports in ND. Reminder: fungicides will not manage these diseases.
