Abstract

Winter wheat cultivar Basalt was artificially inoculated with Fusarium culmorum at the end of anthesis and treated with the systemic fungicide tebuconazole (Folicur®) a few days before and/or after inoculation. Check plots remained uninoculated and unsprayed. Head infections, yield, yield components and the percentage of Fusarium- infected kernels were determined. Artificial Fusarium inoculation lowered yield significantly by 24.2-45.0%. Any fungicide treatment saved yield, thousand grain weight and kernel numbers per head. Pre-infectional application of tebuconazole was superior to application carried out post-infection. Moreover, the fungicide controlled deoxynivalenol (DON) synthesis in the field to a considerable extent, and enabled good control of Fusarium head blight, glume blotch and the percentage of Fusarium-infected kernels. The levels of Fusarium kernel infection after harvest clearly reflected the DON content of w heat grain. Zusammenfassung Auswirkungen einer Tebuconazol Applikation auf den Ertrag, Ertragseigenschaften und den Mykotoxingehalt von Fusarium- infizierten Weizenkornern Winterweizen der Sorte ‘Basalt’ wurde im Feld kunstlich mit Fusarium culmorum zum Ende der Blute infiziert. Jeweils einige Tage vor und/oder nach der Inokulation wurden die Parzellen mit dem Fungizid Tebuconazol (Folicur®) behandelt. Kontrollparzellen blieben unbehandelt und ohne Inokulation. Neben dem Ertrag wurden das Ausmas der Ahreninfektion, der Prozentsatz fusarium-inlizierter Korner und Ertragskomponenten bestimmt. Kunstliche Fusarium-Infektion senkte den Ertrag signifikant um 24.2bi 45.0%. Jede der Folicur-Behandlungen erbrachte eine beachtliehe Ertragssicherung. ferner eine Erhohung des TKG und der Kornzahl je Ahre. Vorinfektionelle Behandlung war einer nachinfektionellen Spritzung uberlegen. Nach Folicur-Einsatz. war der DON-Gehalt (Deoxynivalenol) der Korner im Vergleich zur Kontrolle erheblich niedriger. Daruber hinaus wurden eine beachtliche Bekampfung der Ahrenfusariose und der Spelzenbraune ebenso wie eine Verringerung des Prozentsatzes fusarium-inlizierter Korner erreicht. Das Ausmas der Fusarium-Infektion der Korner nach der Ernte war fur ihren DON-Gehalt bestimmend.
