Abstract

Fusarium head blight is the most important fungal disease of small grain cereals (including wheat) all over the world. Favorable conditions for late infection of wheat in year 2019 with Fusarium species resulted in grain contamination with mycotoxin deoxynivalenol, often in amounts above the maximum permitted level (1250 ppb in food and 8000 ppb in feed). The results presented in this paper shows the importance of evaluation of Fusarium head blight incidence during vegetation and mycotoxin content during wheat reception at the silos and mills.
