TL;DR: Fungicides, with the exception of propiconazole, were significantly more effective than tebuconazole for control of both IND and DON (P < 0.001), and fungicide efficacy was significantly higher for spring wheat than forsoft winter wheat studies; depending on the fungicide, the difference in percent control between spring and soft winter wheat was 5 to 20% for C(IND) and 7 to 16% forC(DON).

TL;DR: Annual decreases in corn yield caused by diseases were estimated by surveying members of the Corn Disease Working Group in 22 corn-producing states in the United States and in Ontario, Canada from 2012 through 2015 by finding foliar diseases commonly caused the largest estimated yield loss.

TL;DR: Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease index in the untreated check plots, a measure of the risk of disease development in a study, had a significant effect on the yield response to treatment, in that D increased with increasing FHB index.

TL;DR: Although the magnitude of percent control will likely vary among environments, integrating a single tebuconazole + prothioconazole application at anthesis with cultivar resistance will be a more effective and stable management practice for both index and DON than either approach used alone.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the effect of tebuconazole on Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol content of wheat grain was performed using data collected from uniform fungicide trials (UFTs) conducted at multiple locations across U.S. wheat-growing regions, indicating considerable (unexplained) variability in percent control.
