PROJECT 1 ABSTRACTArs Agreement • June 13th, 2017
Contract Type FiledJune 13th, 2017As interest in barley production in the MidAtlantic and Northeast US increases, maltsters, brewers, and distillers face the growing challenge of sourcing high-quality, disease and toxin-free grain locally. In response, growers are demanding new management approaches for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) and toxin reduction. While studies have shown an approach combining the use of resistant varieties, fungicides and residue management will be valuable in answering the problem, more information is needed in order to determine the most economical and effective combinations of approaches and their practicality.
