The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $376,240 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct research from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The university will breed durum wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, also known as scab, under this funding. By developing wheat cultivars less susceptible to this fungal disease, the university aims to help...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a two-year, $182,019 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a mineral rover for quantifying Fusarium head blight (FHB) severity in wheat and barley field experiments. Objectives of the research include using the rover to phenotype FHB severity, developing models to quantify FHB from imaged plots,...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $371,333 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct wheat breeding for enhanced Fusarium head blight resistance in North Dakota. The grant period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026 and will support research to develop wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded a $290,277 project grant to South Dakota State University on May 1, 2022 with a completion date of April 30, 2025. The grant is being used to fund research under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to improve Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in barley.

Specifically, the University...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $136,380 cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support to conduct analysis of data from hard red spring wheat varieties grown in cooperative plot and nursery experiments for yield and other agronomic traits. The two-year award, issued on July 1, 2023 and concluding on June 30, 2025, will support the University's efforts to make...
The South Dakota State University was awarded a $378,631 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service to conduct research on breeding spring wheat for fusarium head blight resistance in South Dakota. The goal of the research is to develop spring wheat varieties with improved resistance to fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and quality. This work directly supports the mission of the USDA Agricultural Research...
