Support further development of Fusarium Head Blight resistance cultivars for all public breeding programs in western Canada through enhancement of FHB screening capacity. Under moderate to severe epidemics, moderate resistance is not sufficient to prevent significant losses. Similarly, available fungicides… Read More
