Natural Fusarium occurrence qualitative evaluation on cereals under conventional and organic system in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Cereals are the most growing crops under organic conditions. Cereals are supposed to be a source of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species. Our research was led to describe the differences among natural Fusarium species occurrence in two localities and two growing systems – organic and conventional. The main differences were observed among years and cereal species. No statistically significant differences were determined between localities and farming systems.
