Maize ears were inoculated with either Fusarium graminearum, F. moniliforme or an equal mixture of the two. Silk and kernel tissues were periodically harvested through out the growing season and a time course of the experimental variables including disease severity, ergosterol content, fungal DNA con tent, and mycotoxin concentration, were recorded. Over the 3 years tested the highest levels of disease and ergosterol were found in the F. graminearum treatment, followed by the mixture treatment and, finally, the F. moniliforme treatment. FB1 levels did not differ between the F. moniliforme treatment and the mixed inoculum treatment.
