e1

“Deoxynivalenol (DON) in concentration range 0.1-156.6 mg/kg, was found in 48 samples of barley kernels collected from heads with visible symptoms of head scab after inoculation in a field with Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium graminearum”

e4

“These results indicate that as well level of samples contamination with DON as human and animal health risk in consequence can be reduced by kernels selection (according their size) followed by rejection of the smallest kernels fraction”
