In Pennsylvania, winter wheat is produced on approximately 150,000 to 200,000 acres, with yields of 65 bu/ac, on average, providing $40,000,000 to $70,000,000 to the local economy annually. In 2018 and 2019, Pennsylvania experienced favorable conditions for Fusarium head blight (FHB) and results from our trials in these years indicated a difference from 10-20 bushels per acre with well-timed fungicide applications, as well as a reduction in deoxynivalenol levels. Nonetheless, questions remain regarding the efficacy of foliar fungicides in an integrated program, as many producers in PA apply fungicides based on growth stage without necessarily quantifying the agronomic, biological or economic efficacy of those applications. Continued research, as part of the Integrated Management (IM)-Coordinated Project and the Uniform Fungicide Trial (UFT) Project, will help provide important local data to quantify efficacy and improve management recommendations for control of FHB, as well as contribu
