DONcast® Europe
fusarium risk management for wheat producers
Welcome to DONcast® Europe
DONcast® is a tool designed for wheat producers to provide a means of predicting deoxynivalenol toxin (DON) concentration in wheat at maturity.
The DONcast® calculator, developed by Weather INnovations Incorporated, uses actual, forecasted and historical weather data along with field-specific agronometric data to accurately predict DON concentrations in wheat at maturity.
Producers can use this tool to:
- Make informed management decisions on whether or not to apply a fungicide at heading for reducing potential DON concentrations in mature grain
- Help strategize which fields with elevated DON potential should be harvested first
- Provide an advance warning of DON concentrations toward better or alternative market destinations before harvest
For the 2012 season, this website is being offered to Bayer employees and affiliates for the purposes of field agronomy record keeping and familiarization with the model. The DONcast® calculator is available for users within France. If you have a user account, sign in now to access more information and tools.
