Abstract

The correlation between the amount of deoxynivalenol (DON) and the percentage ofFusarium damaged kernels (FDK) in samples of wheat and triticale was studied.

Samples of naturally infected wheat grain, collected in 1986, 1987 and 1988 and of triticale collected in 1986 were used.

Additionally, artificial inoculated wheat samples (10 genotypes inoculated with 3F. Culmorum strains of weak, medium and severe pathogenicity and samples of 10 triticale genotypes inoculated withF. culmorum. andF. graminearun) were studied. Using statistical methods (the variance analysis, method of least significant difference (LSD), orthogonal contrast (OC) and minimum within groups sum of squares criterion (MSSC)), the samples were divided into two groups with respect to the attribute DON/FDK.

To the first group belong samples of wheat and triticale, of which the heads were artificially inoculated with severely pathogenic strainsF. culmorum. In the samples of this group the amount of DON in kernels damaged withFusarium increased by 0,46 mg/kg per 1% of FDK.

In the second group, consisting of naturally infected samples and samples from artificially inoculated heads the amount of DON increased 0,30 mg DON/kg per 1% of FDK.

The equation for the calculation of approximated amount of DON in farm and commercial lots of wheat and triticale after examination of percentage of FDK is given.
