Abstract:
The aim of this work was to characterize visual properties, instrumentally
measured colour properties, field fungi presence and Alternaria toxins levels
in wheat samples grown under conditions aimed at inhibition and stimulation
of wheat infection with fungi from the Alternaria genus. Experiment was
carried out on the wheat treated by fungicide and wheat inoculated by
Alternaria spp., while non treated wheat was used as a control. Statistically
significant difference was observed between all three treatments using visual
scale. Protected wheat samples were significantly different from other
samples in terms of all measured colour parameters while inoculated and
control wheat samples were significantly different in terms of lightness and
dominant wavelength. Identification of field fungi in the all examined wheat
samples showed that the dominant mycotoxigenic fungus was Alternaria spp.,
followed by Fusarium spp. The content of Alternaria toxins in samples of
wheat hulls and dehulled kernels point out at higher concentrations of
Alternaria toxins in hulls than in dehulled kernels.
