We have created several maps to look at the movement of Fusarium in Alberta over the past 4 years based on samples submitted to the laboratory including a Fusarium risk map.
Note: These maps provide an estimate only and are based on submitted samples not on actual surveys. Submitted samples may not always originate from the same location as the location of the person or organization submitting the sample.

Fusarium Risk Maps
Red counties have had Positive results on the plate test. They are at the highest risk of seeing Fusarium graminearum infections in the future. Yellow counties have had positive DNA tests, but negative plate results. These are likely late season, low level infections. Growers in these counties probably need to be the most cautious since it is starting to move into the area. All best management practices should be followed. White counties have not had any positive Fusarium tests.
