General objectiv: Cereal contamination with mycotoxins under the influence of climatic changes in Romania requires integrated research to develop strategies for the agri-food chain management.

Specific objectives:

  • Integrated assessment of cereal contamination with deoxynivalenol and Fusarium sp. in the risk areas for years 20142016;
  • Integrated assessment of cereal contamination with aflatoxins and Aspergillus sp. in the risk areas for years 20142016;
  • Risk maps for wheat contamination with deoxynivalenol and aflatoxins in Romania.
  • Management strategy for cereal contamination with fungi and mycotoxins, in the context of climate change predictions for Romania.
  • Integrated assessment of cereal productivity of the wheat crops under the influence of dry and rain years of the period 20112015;
  • Integrated assessment of cereal physico-chemical properties of the wheat crop in the risk areas under the influence of agroclimatic factors of the 20142015 year;
  • Integrated assessment of cereal contamination with deoxynivalenol and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn, As, Ni, Cr) in the risk areas for the year 20142015.

*** This project had integrated all data for cereal contamination with DON and AFLA for period 20112016 (Projects: ADER 8.1.1; PN 12 48 01 05 and PN 16 46 04 01).
