title: Moniliformin, deoxynivalenol, 3Acetyldeoxynivalenol and zearalenone - Mycotoxins associated with corn cob fusariosis in Poland.
abstract: Naturally infected ears of corn were examined for presence of mycotoxins and colonizingFusaria. In kernels of cobs with symptoms of pink fusariosis /pink ear rot/ which stated about 95% cobs naturally infected was present moniliformin in amount 30-530 mg/kg.Fusarium suhglutinans /W&R/N,T&M was dominating species in this type of ear fusariosis. In handly selected kermels of cobs with symptoms of red fusariosis /red ear rot/ which stated only about 5% of infected cobs, were present: zearalenone up 20 mg/kg, deoxynivalenol /vomitoxin/ up 170 mg/kg and 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol up 40 mg/kg. In axial stems the amount of mycotoxins was 1.5-8 times higer than in kernels.
