Scottville, 49454 Northwest Michigan | If you can harvest it timely, store it away for two or three months, with good aeriation management.... you will likely have less dockage than if you took directly to market at harvest time. At least that's been our experience.
Here is a wheat fungicide efficacy chart.
http://plantpath.msuextension.org/resources/2021-ncera184-wheat-fungicide-table.html
Most of the different charts I've looked at show the same or similar results. Obviously, using the fungicides that show the best control of Head Scab are the ones to choose from.
As others have said.... strobilurins do more harm than good when applied at flowering. They exasperate the problem of Head Scab infestation. All strobilurins should be avoided at flowering. Applied at flag leaf emergence or earlier is fine, and can be of benefit. But not at flowering.
Some of the comments left suggest, "All is lost". I would say... "Not necessarily, don't give up". Do the best you can going forward. And if possible, store the wheat away for a few months.
