Project Number: 500-53-001-00
Project Type: Appropriated

Start Date: Jan 01, 2003
End Date: Dec 31, 2007

Objective:
Headquarters-held funds for research on Fusarium head blight (scab) of wheat and associated mycotoxins.

Approach:
'Holding basin' for research on: 1) genetic enhancement for Fusarium resistance in wheat and barley, 2) establishment of database for research data on Fusarium head blight, 3) characterization of Fusarium head blight epidemiology, 4) establishment of Fusarium head blight communications system, and 5) development of disease control strategies. Original start and termination dates were 01/01/1998 to 12/30/2002 - AMEarl.
