Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Resistant Carberry and Emerson had less damaged kernels than susceptible cultivars.
- Observation Resistant cultivars reduced deoxynivalenol relative to susceptible cultivars.
- Observation Resistant cultivars yielded more under high Fusarium pressure.
- Observation Winter wheat had higher overall yield.
- Observation Emerson had the highest and most stable yields across environments.
- Intervention effect Foliar fungicide increased grain yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar fungicide lowered damaged kernels and deoxynivalenol.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment alone increased test weight.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment increased spring plant density of both winter varieties.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment increased kernel weight in Emerson.
- Intervention effect Foliar fungicide with or without seed treatment improved yield and stability, especially in susceptible cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors recommend resistant cultivars integrated with cultural practices to lower FHB risk and optimize yield.
