Crop cultivation measures to reduce mycotoxin contamination in cereals

In cereal farming, Fusari111n head blight is of great significance since in the case of an infestation not only yield and quality is affected, but also mycotoxin contamination of harvest products must be expected. Since mycotoxins produced in grain during cereal cultivation can only be partially removed by cleansing or processing, preventative measures against Fusari11111 infection on the field are of particular importance. Crop cultivation measures provide good possibilities for limiting the risk of infection if suitable crop rotation, type of soil tillage, choice of variety and plant protection are combined with each other in terms of situation and location.
