1998 Fusarium Head Blight - Scab Evaluation. Brookings, South Dakota. Corn and oat kernels infected with Fusarium graminearum were spread weekly, starting at the jointing stage of most entries and continuing for three weeks. A conidial suspension was used to spray-inoculate plants beginning at the heading stage with a second inoculation one week later. Plots were mist-irrigated every evening from the first inoculation to the last disease scoring. From 5-15 spikes were evaluated per plot.
