This work directly supports the mission of the USDA Agricultural Research...

The University of Delaware received a $210,362 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service to conduct Fusarium head blight research in Delaware from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. Under this award, the University of Delaware will provide agricultural research services focused on Fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that affects wheat and barley. The research is part of the USDA's Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001), which...

The University of Kentucky Research Foundation received a $686,010 grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant will fund research to address Fusarium graminearum, a fungus that causes major diseases in wheat, barley, rice, and corn crops, including Fusarium head blight and Gibberella ear rot. The key objectives are to develop new tools and resources to study, track, and model the Fusarium pathogen...

This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service provides $114,482 to South Dakota State University for research on Fusarium head blight (FHB) management in wheat in South Dakota. The award period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. As the prime awardee, South Dakota State University will conduct research to develop and evaluate strategies for managing FHB, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and quality. This work supports the goals...

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...
