I see the following topic at the Westeern Barley Growers Annual meeting in Calgary.
"Development of FHB-resistant barley using new, precise methods of transgene delive".
Is fusarium head blight a current issue on your farm? In areas where it isn't, could it become a problem?
Should research occur on this problem? If a variety were available that would reduce or eliminate risk, would you look at it? Should we take some plant breeding technologies off the table in dealing this issue?
Mycotoxins and molds including DON (deoxynivalenol/vomotoxin) are something that are recieving increased scrutiny by consumers.
