Abstract

Great damage to wheat can be caused by species from the genus Fusarium. The greatest damage occur in the ear and cause Fusarium head blight (FHB), which reduces yield and has negative effects on quality traits. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of artificial infection of Fusarium on agronomic traits. Genotypes in the treatment of Fusarium in relation to the control treatment in average had lower grain yield of 12.4%. Minimum loss in the treatment of Fusarium in relation to the control had genotypes Soissons, Aida and Osk.870/08. In the treatment of Fusarium in relation to the control, genotypes had a test weight lower for 2.4% in average. A thousand kernel weight values did not obtain stability between these two treatments, and values in the Fusarium treatment were higher than in the control treatment of 1% in average.
