Abstract

Doświadczenie wykazało, że fungicydy zastosowane w ustalonym wariancie badawczym nie miały istotnego wpływu na podstawowe parametry składu chemicznego ziarna, takie jak zawartość białka czy skrobi. We wszystkich badanych wariantach najczęściej izolowany­mi rodzajami grzybów były Alternaria oraz Epicoccum. Grzyby z rodzaju Fusarium izolowano najliczniej z prób kontrolnych, a następniez wariantów opryskiwanych azoksystrobiną i fenpropimorfem. Zauważono, że stosowanie obniżonych dawek większości fungicydów nie zawsze sprzyjało zwiększonej częstotliwości występowania Fusarium spp. w porównaniu z dawkami zalecanymi. Analiza zawartości my­kotoksyn wykazała, że najwyższe stężenie deoksyniwalenolu (DON) występowało w próbach ziarna chronionego tebukonazolem i azok­systrobiną, natomiast najwyższe poziomy zearalenonu (ZEA) odnotowano w próbach traktowanych tiofanatem metylowym, tebukonazo­lem i fenpropimorfem – przy czym zjawisko to obserwowano wyłącznie w wariantach, w których zastosowano połowę dawki zalecanej.

 

The analysis showed that the application of fungicides did not have a significant effect on the basic chemical composition of the grain, such as protein or starch content. In all tested variants, the most frequently isolated were fungi from genera Alternaria and Epicoccum, confirming their dominant role in the grain microbiome. Fungi from the genus Fusarium were most isolated from control samples, fol­lowed by those treated with azoxystrobin and fenpropimorph. It was observed that the use of reduced doses of most fungicides has not always promoted a higher frequency of Fusarium spp. occurrence compared to recommended doses. Mycotoxin analysis revealed that the highest concentration of deoxynivalenol (DON) was detected in grain samples treated with tebuconazole and azoxystrobin, while the highest levels of zearalenone (ZEA) were recorded in samples treated with thiophanate-methyl, tebuconazole and fenpropimorph – although this phenomenon was observed exclusively in variants where half of the recommended dose had been applied.
