Fusarium Head Blight Outbreak Frequency under a Changing Climate Environment

J M Fernandes, W Pavan and E Del Ponte

Introduction Southern states – dryland Spring types – grown during winter –

spring season Warming temperatures Increase in precipitation

60´s 90´s

Wheat yield-reducing factors in Brazil

Soil fertility (Al+++) Late Frost Sprouting Insects (BYDV) Fungal Diseases

Wheat diseases epidemiology

Pathogen Host Environment (climate)

If we know enough …..then we can model!

A Generic Disease Model Approach

A Generic Disease Model Approach Model

Parameterization All disease parameters

are read from a XML file

Plant organs (disease targets) get from crop model

A Generic Disease Model Approach Epidemiological

FHB Model

On Season Warning System

Study area and climate dataset Passo Fundo ( 28°15'00"S ,

52°25'12"W). Embrapa Wheat, (over 25 years of

FHB records) A long-term daily climate dataset

was available starting in1930´s Pergamino, Argentina

FHB - Multiple simulations

Simulations were performed for a 30-day period starting June 1st.

Infection periods were computed in a period of time from the 4th to as long as the 20th day following beginning of wheat heading (time of flowering).

Some highlights….

Minimum tillage plays a minor rule Weather is likely the driving force for

epidemics Epidemics outbreaks are more frequent

than before The environment is highly favorable to

FHB development La Niña years are less favorable South Atlantic Surface Temperature may

be useful for seasonal forecast.
