3:10 Meeting Adjourned.

Short-term Outcomes: Across reporting states in 2025, disease pressure in small grains was generally average to below average, with only a few localized outbreaks. Many regions experienced favorable environmental conditions, improved varietal resistance, or effective management practices that limited widespread epidemics. Extension programs, variety screening efforts, and coordinated national research initiatives continued to support growers with timely information and improved disease management strategies.

Disease Pressure Overview: Most participating states reported average disease pressure, including Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Delaware, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, North Dakota, Michigan, Kentucky, New York, and Illinois. Several states—including Louisiana, Indiana, Idaho, and Mississippi—reported below-average disease pressure, often linked to favorable weather conditions or limited wheat acreage. South Dakota was the only state reporting above-average disease pressure, largely due to a significant Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus (WSMV) outbreak affecting both winter and spring wheat.

Key Diseases Observed: A variety of diseases were reported across the region. 

• Fusarium head blight (FHB) remained a primary concern in many states including Delaware, North Dakota, New York, and Illinois, though most reported moderate or manageable levels.
• Leaf rust and other foliar diseases such as Septoria and glume blotch were common but generally manageable, with notable outbreaks in Arkansas and Kentucky on susceptible varieties.
• Wheat streak mosaic virus was significant in South Dakota and Missouri.
• Cephalosporium stripe caused an unusual outbreak in Wisconsin winter wheat.
• Other notable issues included powdery mildew in Michigan, strawbreaker eyespot in Idaho, and dryland root rots in Oklahoma.

FHB Risk Model Performance: The FHB risk prediction models generally aligned well with observed disease levels across many states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York. Some states reported slight discrepancies, with models either overestimating or underestimating risk depending on local weather patterns and management practices.

Research and Extension Activities: Programs across the region reported significant research and outreach accomplishments. Activities included:

• Variety screening and disease resistance evaluation, including large-scale screening for scab resistance in southern breeding programs.
• Fungicide efficacy trials and integrated disease management studies conducted across multiple states.
• Cultivar development, including the release of the hard red winter wheat cultivar Orange Blossom CL Plus in Oklahoma.
• Development of new tools such as disease risk indices for wheat varieties in North Dakota.
• Publication of 21 peer-reviewed manuscripts which collectively advance integrated wheat and barley production systems by combining genetic resistance (e.g., GWAS, marker development, and cultivar release), fungicide and biopesticide efficacy, and management strategies for key diseases such as Fusarium head blight, rusts, and bacterial leaf streak. They also emphasize data-driven agronomic optimization, including nutrient management, variety selection, and microbiome interactions, alongside regional disease impact assessments to improve yield stability, grain quality, and economic returns
• Research was presented at various meetings that included Plant and Animal Genome Conference in San Diego, CA; Plant Health 2025 (APS) in Honolulu, HI; the National Fusarium Head Blight Forum in Denver, CO; and CANVAS 2025 in Salt Lake City, UT that resulted in publication of 33 abstracts and proceedings with a focus on integrated, data-driven disease management, combining: host resistance, fungicide optimization, pathogen surveillance, advanced genomic and analytical tools. This coordinated work supports improved yield stability, grain quality, and risk management in wheat production systems. These meetings span national conferences on small grains, regional workshops, and institutional symposia. Providing a strong presence in major plant pathology and crop science venues and a geographic distribution covering West, Midwest, and national/international (Hawaii, virtual).
• xtension outreach remained a cornerstone of program impact. Extension programs in 2025 delivered timely, research-based disease management guidance through coordinated surveillance, forecasting tools, and outreach efforts, helping growers effectively manage generally low to moderate disease pressure across regions. These efforts reached thousands of stakeholders through field days, workshops, and decision-support resources, improving disease identification, fungicide timing, and adoption of integrated management strategies. Researchers delivered numerous field days, workshops, grower meetings, and disease updates, collectively reaching thousands of growers, consultants, and extension educators. Educational programming addressed disease identification, fungicide timing, and integrated management strategies.
• 40 Extension publications in 2025 provided research-based guidance on integrated disease management in small grains, emphasizing fungicide efficacy, host resistance, and disease forecasting tools to support informed decision-making. These resources translated multi-state research findings into practical recommendations that improved disease control, yield stability, and grain quality for growers.

Milestones:

1. Regional Disease Monitoring and Risk Assessment: Coordinated multi-state surveillance in 2025 documented predominantly average to below-average disease pressure, with effective integration of FHB risk models that generally aligned with observed disease levels and supported timely management decisions.
2. Advancement of Integrated Disease Management Strategies: Multi-state fungicide trials, variety screening, and integrated management studies improved understanding of disease control for FHB, rusts, and emerging pathogens, enhancing evidence-based recommendations for growers.
3. Genetic Improvement and Decision Support Tools: Research efforts led to cultivar development, resistance screening, and the creation of new decision tools (e.g., disease risk indices), strengthening host resistance and precision management approaches across production systems.
4. Broad Research Dissemination and Extension Impact: Findings were disseminated through 21 peer-reviewed publications, 33 abstracts, and extensive Extension programming, delivering data-driven disease management guidance to stakeholders and supporting improved yield stability, grain quality, and economic outcomes.

Many members of the group collaborat on projects as part of U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative funding to support multi-state effort in management of Fusarium head blight (FHB). This includes projects such as the Uniform Fungicide Trial, Integrated Management of FHB, and cultivar screenings.
