Nivalenol production byFusarium poae

Mycotoxin Research volume 7, pages 26–30 (1991)Cite this article

Abstract

Fusarium sp. were isolated from Swedish nivalenol containing grain and tested for toxin production. OnlyF. poae, 6 of 10 isolates, produced nivalenol. Highest production (44.7 μg/g) was obtained cultured on rice during 4 week at room temperature and under near UV-light. FiveF. poae isolates from other countries did not produce nivalenol but T-2/HT-2 toxin. One Swedish isolate produced both types of trichothecenes. Treatment with fungicides in aF. poae infected experimental field reduced the nivalenol concentration in the harvested grain.
