The objective of the research was to summarize, using a meta-analytic approach, the relationship between Fusarium head blight index and wheat yield using data obtained from independent studies. Then, a simulation approach was used to estimate yield losses due to FHB, using disease predictions by a disease model, over a 28-year time series covering the period before and after FHB resurge. Finally, the risk of not-offsetting on the financial investment on fungicide treatment (tebuconazole), applied once or twice, was calculated for a range of wheat prices and fungicide costs. Tebuconazole have been used to control FHB in wheat (caused by Fusarium graminearum species complex), and evaluated during 10 years and multiple sites in south Brazil.
