- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded North Dakota State University $166,747 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to efficiently breed Fusarium head blight resistant spring wheat cultivars adapted to North Dakota. The recipient will continue developing spring wheat varieties with moderate or better resistance to Fusarium head blight while increasing...
- 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 Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University $201,967 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to breed durum wheat for Fusarium head blight resistance. The work includes breeding FHB-resistant durum wheat lines, screening candidate lines for FHB resistance in greenhouses and irrigated field nurseries, evaluating lines for deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination, conducting marker-assisted...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University $327,635 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to provide high-throughput deoxynivalenol (DON) and DON-3-glucoside analysis for barley, spring wheat, and durum wheat breeding and pathology programs. The award supports analytical laboratory services that ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and comparability of mycotoxin testing across years and...
- 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 North Dakota State University a $123,008 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. The grant will fund research to study microbiome antagonism of Fusarium head blight. As part of the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program's goal of making agricultural research discoveries and providing scientific and technical...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded a $437,710 Cooperative Agreement to North Dakota State University on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to establish and operate a Networking and Facilitation Office for the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI). The recipient will maintain and enhance management and accountability of USWBSI resources, facilitate communication within the Initiative, administer...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded South Dakota State University $144,727 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop and release hard winter wheat and winter durum cultivars with Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) resistance for the U.S. Great Plains. The project will increase the frequency of major and minor resistance genes, implement genomic and phenomics prediction strategies, and coordinate regional...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded North Carolina State University $125,843 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to accelerate genetic gain for Fusarium head blight resistance in southern soft wheat. The project runs through April 30, 2030, with performance at Raleigh, North Carolina. The award funds research to increase wheat productivity in North...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded North Dakota State University $149,233 under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) on May 1, 2026, to evaluate integrated effects of fungicide efficacy, fungicide timing, and genetic resistance on Fusarium head blight (FHB) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in North Dakota small grains; compare economic benefit of FHB forecast-based fungicide programs; generate data to validate FHB risk prediction models; and facilitate leadership and communication of U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) information. The award is a Project Grant with a period of performance from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2030, and work is performed in Fargo, North Dakota. The program funds research and development conducted in cooperation with and correlated to Agricultural Research Service in-house research programs, with a maximum period-of-performance duration of five years.
