Ruminants are often considered less susceptible to mycotoxins than monogastrics, owing to
rumen microflora converting mycotoxins to less toxic compounds or several compounds …

The current study investigates the effects of humic acid concentration, its application
methods as well as nitrogen ratios on the morphological, yield and biochemical …

Seed yield and achene oil yield are the main determinants for N application rates rather than
seed composition. Nitrogen plays a critical role in producing unsaturated fatty acids (oleic …

The fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins produced primarily by Fusarium spp. There are
several different forms of fumonisins, among them fumonisins B 1 and B 2 are the most …

Consumption of maize contaminated with mycotoxins has been associated with detrimental
health effects. A farm survey covering 116 push‐pull and 139 non‐push‐pull crop** …

This chapter discusses how crop management practices can be optimized to reduce
mycotoxin risk. It focuses on toxin‐producing species of Fusarium and their important …

Corn (Zea mays L.) response to boron (B) on fine textured soils has had limited research,
and no research has evaluated interactions between B and crop protection chemicals such …

Mycotoxins in cereals are an economic and health problem. They are mainly produced in
the field and are influenced by environmental conditions during ripening and by agricultural …

Natural mycoflora and co-occurrence of fumonisins (FB1, FB2) and aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2,
AFG1 and AFG2) in freshly harvested corn grain samples from four regions of Brazil were …

Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient needed for normal plant growth and development. To
evaluate the response of corn to foliar B applications at V4–V6 (4–6 leaves with visible …
