Fusarium head blight, induced primarily by Fusarium graminearum, resulted in widespread damage to the Manitoba barley crops of 1993 and 1994, with contamination by DON and other 8-keto-trichothecenes. A commercial enzyme immunoassay for DON gave results that correlated well with GC-MS methods and afforded a rapid and convenient method for screening. In barley samples from 1994, DON, 15-acetylDON, 3-acetylDON and 3, 15- diacetylDON were detected in the approximate ratio of 47:4:1:1. In view of the higher oral toxicities of 15-acetylDON and 3-acetylDON relative to DON, and the unknown oral toxicity of 3, 15-diacetylDON, GC-MS assays might be advisable in samples positive for FON from enzyme immunoassay screening.
