Spraying For Fusarium

There are several types of fusarium in Alberta, but Fusarium graminearum is of the greatest concern of cereal crops and has a negative impact on yield, and also affects grade because of toxins produced which results in poor grain quality intended for feed, malting, milling, and the biofuel industry. Gayah Sieusahai, pest regulatory officer with Alberta Agriculture, says recent surveys indicate Fusarium graminearum is established in southern Alberta especially under irrigation and traces are present in central and northern regions of the province.
