There was a post, during wheat harvest, about wheat quality.

A couple of the responses indicated planting a blend of wheat varieties to reduce head scab.

It was mentioned that was done years ago, before fungicides, with some success.

The idea was to plant a tall variety blended with a short variety.

This allowed more air space between heads, thus slowing the spread of Fusarium.

Does this work?

Should maturities be blended also or should they be the same maturities?
