General objectiv:
- Assessment of in-field and post-harvest contamination of wheat with deoxynivalenol mycotoxin in the context of the geographic and agroclimatic conditions of Romania.
Specific objectives:
- Identify several factors that influence contamination with fungi Fusarium sp. and mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) on the agro-food chain in Romania.
- Database of the agro-food products (cereal, mill products, cereal based foods) contaminated with DON between 01.2012‒08.2015.
- Influence of agroclimatic factors on DON incidence and levels in agro-food products in the period 01.2012‒07.2015.
- Database of the contamination with DON on the agro-food chain (cereal, mill products, cereal foods and feed) in the risk areas in 2014‒2015 year.
- Risk assessment of cereals, food and feed contamination with DON in the crop of 2014‒2015 year.
