Manitoba Co-operator: Fungicide, glyphosate don’t hurt your hard red wheat quality

A study has found two of the most common practices in Prairie wheat production — fungicide for fusarium head blight and pre-harvest glyphosate — don’t affect grain quality.

Rather, it’s weather, and your wheat variety, that will make the biggest difference.

The research was led by Katherine Dorian, then a master’s student at the University of Manitoba, with support from a multidisciplinary team that included cereal chemist Harry Sapirstein and agrometeorologist Paul Bullock.
