Effect of Fusarium infection on wheat quality parameters

Abstract Wheat is one of the most important cereal grains; it provides carbohydrate staple foods that form basis diets around world. production endangered by Fusarium species which cause head blight. blight devastating diseases small grain cereals. This disease not only causes yield losses, but also decreases wheat quality and presence harmful mycotoxins. The experiment was conducted during two growing seasons 2020 2021 at experimental field laboratories Hungarian University Agriculture Life Sciences (MATE). aim our study to test effect infection on parameters. variety used in Mv Kolompos. results indicate (94%) higher than (48.4%). increase reduces quality. Hence, negatively affects protein content, weight, thousand kernel falling number, gluten content Zeleny sedimentation index. lower value
