Secondary Metabolites of Pathogenic Fungi in Triticum durum Grain Protected with Debaryomyces hansenii in Two Different Locations in Poland

Durum wheat grain can accumulate mycotoxins because it is highly sensitive to infections caused by pathogens of the genera Fusarium and Alternaria. Reduced fungicide use increases demand for biological methods pathogen control. The aim experiment was evaluate efficacy Debaryomyces hansenii (Dh) yeast in reducing content secondary fungal metabolites present spikes five durum cultivars grown southern northern Poland. A total 27 nine produced other fungi were identified grain. application Dh strain decreased deoxynivalenol concentration all samples relative control treatments (by 14–100%) inoculated with F. graminearum 23–100%). In Poland, treatment also led a considerable reduction culmorin 83.2–100%) enniatins A1 B 9.5–65.3% 6.7–70%, respectively) An analysis multiple useful tool determining quality its suitability consumption.
