The effect of grain storage conditions on the viability of Fusarium and deoxynivalenol production in infested malting barley.

The viability of Fusarium and Alternaria infesting barley stored for 7 months under different conditions: -20, 4 and 24°C with quiescent air, and 24°C with forced air, was studied.  Additionally, the ability of Fusarium to produce DON after storage and during malting was evaluated.  All storage conditions reduced the viability of both moulds slightly and significantly for Fusarium.  Forced air ventilation at 24°C was the type of storage most effective in reducing the viability of Fusarium, decreasing the percentage of infected kernels to 66%.  DON levels did not change after 7 months with respect to storage conditions.  However, DON levels were lower in malt produced from barley stored at 24°C with or without aeration.
