About Us

The Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Center is the product of a cooperative research effort between researchers at The Penn State University, The Ohio State University, Kansas State University, Purdue University, North Dakota State University and South Dakota State University. This multi-disciplinary project has merged Plant Pathology with the expertise of Pennsylvania State Climate Office, and the Outreach Office of the Penn State Environmental Institute to produce one of the largest disease prediction efforts ever attempted. This research was funded in part by the USDA/ARS -- U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative.
