Natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins in field samples from the 1992 Wisconsin corn crop.

Analysis of 98 mouldy corn samples collected in Wisconsin between November 1992 and January 1993 for Fusarium toxins revealed overall average mycotoxin concentrations of 305.6, 237.7, and 904.3mg/kg for type A trichothecenes, DON-related type B trichothecenes (total DON), and zearalenone (ZEA), respectively.  Analysis of selected samples by HPLC monidtoring with an ELISA revealed that T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, neosolaniol and T-2 tetraol were common in these samples.  Statistical analysis showed a weak correlation between the levels of total type P trichothecenes and total DON in the samples, but a strong correlation between the levels of ZEA and total type B trichothecenes.
