High Risk for Fusarium Toxins in European 2021 Maize | Week 39 Mycotoxin Prediction

Results of statistical analysis reveal that many parts of Europe can expect potentially harmful levels of mycotoxin contamination in the upcoming 2021 harvest. Corn (maize) harvests in Southern European countries have on average a 50% risk of containing more than 500 parts per billion (ppb) of fumonisins. The risk for harvests to contain more than 150 ppb deoxynivalenol is 60% and 61% for Central and Eastern European countries, respectively.
