Abstract

The occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON; vomitoxin) in wheat from 1986-1988 harvests in the USSR was surveyed. A significant frequency of DON contamination (81.3% of samples analyzed) was observed. A correlation between levels of DON contamination and percentage of Fusarium-damaged kernels was demonstrated. It was shown that DON contamination did not exceed the maximum tolerated level (MTL) established in the USSR (1.0 mg/kg) if samples contained no more than 0.6% of Fusarium-damaged kernels.
