t0“Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)”
e4“In 2019, high humidity and favorable temperatures during flowering led to fungal infections in control plots, with DON toxin concentrations exceeding the regulatory safety threshold”
e5“Following copper–sucrose complex application, DON levels dropped below this threshold, demonstrating a measurable protective effect”

- Observation Copper deficiency in the soil was more pronounced in the deeper layers.
- Intervention effect A 1 kg ha-1 copper dose significantly increased yield compared with the untreated control, averaged over three years.
- Intervention effect A 0.3 kg ha-1 copper dose significantly increased crude protein content compared with the untreated control.
- Intervention effect A 0.5 kg ha-1 copper dose significantly increased wet gluten content compared with the untreated control.
- Intervention effect The highest values for yield, crude protein and wet gluten were achieved with the 2 kg ha-1 copper dose.
- Intervention effect The 2 kg ha-1 copper dose increased yield by 1.03 t ha-1 relative to the control.
- Intervention effect The 2 kg ha-1 copper dose increased crude protein by 0.9% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect The 2 kg ha-1 copper dose increased wet gluten by 2.3% relative to the control.
- Observation In 2019, DON toxin concentrations in control plots exceeded the regulatory safety threshold after fungal infections.
