1 - What is FusariumGeneral characteristics
� Fusarium head blight: an important disease
� most prominent on cereals
� A complex of several fungal pathogens
� Can damage different parts of the plant � such as the seeds, leaves and ears
� With a long period of potential infection
� Can produce mycotoxins

3 - MycotoxinsRegulatory aspects
� New regulation on mycotoxin concentrationsin Germany* as DON in µg/kg or ppb
• in wheat max 500• in bakery: max 350• in baby food : max 100
* valid since Feb 13, 2004. Transitional phase until Sep, 1st, 2005
� Regulation in Europe expected for 2005/6
Presentation • November 23, 2004 • Slide 12
� Establishment of maximum levels on European level
� Assessment of contamination in grain
� Storage, blending and traceability
� Allocation of costs

Being in line with EUREPGAP® principles;
EUREPGAP is a means of incorporating Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Crop Management (ICM) practices within theframework of commercial agricultural production.
Adoption of IPM/ICM is regarded by EUREPGAP members as essential for the long-term improvement and sustainability of agricultural production.

6 - Conclusions� The occurence of Fusarium head blight can be reduced
through an ICM approach� to a large extent through crop rotation, variety choice,
adequate soil preparation
� Fungicide treatment is part of the solution in an IPM approach taking into account� Good prognosis� Appropriate timing of application� Appropriate application technique
Presentation • November 23, 2004 • Slide 22
6 – Conclusion
� Fungicides, especially Proline and Folicurcontrol all important Fusarium species
� Mycotoxin contamination can be reduced by 50 - 60 % in average
