title: Fusarium poae and Fusarium sporotrichioides in cereal grains of the Slovak Republic.
abstract: The occurrence of Fusarium poae and F. sporotrichioides was examined in 37,172 cereal grains of 229 samples from the Slovak Republic. In an area where strains of Fusarium parasitized. 40% of grains on average, owing to unfavourable weather, 5 strains of F. poae were isolated (0.5% out of 1,015 strains of Fusarium). In an area where the situation was less unfavourable, Fusarium spp. contaminated on average 4.1% of grains, F. poae were present in 6.1% out of 82 strains of Fusarium. When cereal ripened and harvested under climatically favourable conditions. Fusarium spp. were isolated, on average, out of 3.0% of grains, but the strains of F. poae made an essential part of the mycoflora (25.5% out of 985 isolated Fusarium strains). In three samples there were ascertained 5%, 15% and 19.5% of grains contaminated by strains of F. poae, F. sporotrichioides was isolated only 5 times.
