title: Yield reduction and mycotoxin contamination of wheat due toFusarium culmorum.
abstract: The inoculation of wheat ears with 27 isolates ofFusarium culmorum in growth stage 65 reduced 1000-grain weights by 14 to 61%. For the phytopathological characterisation of isolates the virulence on primary wheat leaves and the growth rate an potato-dextrose-agar were assessed. Deoxynivalenol-producing isolates ofF. culmorum reduced the 1000-grain weight more than nivalenol-producing isolates.
