Spring barley is grown on about half of the Norwegian cereal area. The rest of the area is equally divided between wheat and oats. Most years the domestic production provides 70%-80% of the domestic market for bread wheat. Barley and oats are mainly grown for animal feed. During the years 2008-2012, severe epidemics of Fusarium head blight have led to increased mycotoxin contamination of cereal...

Fusarium avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc. is an important phytopathogen. Fight against F. includes primarily fungicide usage. However, novel strategies are needed in a struggle with avenaceum. In this study, terpinolene was used as antimicrobial agent, and the harmlessness of tested on two contrast barley genotypes, Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Cervoise H. Premium. Firstly, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC...

During the meteorologically contrasting period of 2003-2005, the contamination of winter wheat, malt barley and fodder barley grain with micromycetes during grain harvesting and preparation for storage was investigated. Micromycetes of over 70 species ascribed to 16 genera were isolated and identified, the density of their populations in grain was determined. Micromycetes with a population dens...

Many recent articles feature research on the Fusarium tricinctum species complex (FTSC), and their authors present different ideas how isolates of this can be identified at level. In previous studies, our aim was to investigate phylogeny FTSC strains, which researchers have morphologically as avenaceum, arthrosporioides, anguioides. current study, phylogenetic maximum parsimony likelihood analy...
