Soft Red Winter Wheat – Northern Region

The following links to individual states will bring you to information on variety response to Fusarium Head Blight (FHB=Scab) observed in that state, as well as provide information on yield, quality, and levels of resistance to other wheat diseases.

Illinois

The FHB-variety information is available under the "Fusarium Head Scab Ratings of Varieties" heading at the: http://vt.cropsci.illinois.edu/wheat.html

Indiana

Kentucky

As a class, SRWW varies considerably for resistance to FHB with some cultivars showing excellent levels of moderate resistance and other being very susceptible.  Thus, a grower must carefully examine FHB rating from trials designed to assess FHB resistance when selecting a cultivar.  Data from the 2008-09 test can be found at : http://oardc.osu.edu/wheattrials/
