1 How to reduce FHB nd the presence of toxins in cerels? Anne Vnsse, Ph. D. Sylvie Rioux, Ph. D. nd Denis Pgeu, M. Sc.

2 Pln of presenttion Know your ennemy: Fusrium Hed Blind (FHB) Responsible fctors of the disese Control methods: - Rottion nd tillge - Choice of cerels vrieties nd hybrids - Intercropping - Fungicides - Hrvesting nd drying

3 Get to know FHB Hosts: Whet, brley, ot, rye, triticle, corn Symptoms: - Whet, ot: Yellow or bleched spikelets, pinky or ornge color - Brley: Brown or pinky color - Fusrium Dmged Grins: Wrinkled, chlky spect

4 Get to know FHB Responsible fungi: 17 spp., the most imp.: - Fusrium grminerum - Fusrium sporotrichiodies * Mycotoxins: Symptoms nd mycotoxins* - Fusrium venceum Symptoms (moniliformine) - desoxynivlénol (DON), zerlenone (ZEN) - HT-2 et T-2 (more toxic)

5 Mximum limits (ppb) of mycotoxins Mycotoxins Stndrd F. grminerum DON ZEN F. sporotrichioides HT-2 T-2 Humn Food Swine Poultry Cttle Diry cows ACIA

6 Fusrium species nd res 23,9% 14,9% 16,2% 5,1% 11,7% 59,3% F. grminerum F. sporotrichioides 39,8% 29,2% F. venceum Autres Fusrium spp. St-Mthieu-de-Beloeil Montrel Are St-Augustin-de-Desmures Quebec Are Fusrium diversity during the 11 dys of the criticl period in 2007 Reference: M.-E Bérubé, A. Vnsse nd S. Rioux, 2007

7 Predominnce of Fusrium species F. grminerum : Wrm nd wet conditions Southern res of Quebec F. venceum : Cool nd wet conditions More in Estern res of Quebec Strong vrition of F. grminerum (Quebec) (Bourdges et l. 2006, Xu et l. 2008)

14 Rottion nd tillge Other studies: Effect of tillge surpssed by other fctors, such s previous crop, climte or vriety (Miller et coll., 1998; Schfsm et coll., 2001) No-till: Rottion is essentil with non-host crop: soyben, cnol, pes, clover Avoid sowing on corn, cerels or grss residues left on field If rottion impossible, plow residues

15 Control methods - Plnting dte - Choice of cerels vrieties nd corn hybrids

16 Plnting dte 5,0 4,5 4,0 3,5 3,0 Glyphoste Non-glyphoste Spore production t St-Augustin, 2007 Nombre de colonies Spores of F. grminerum Plnting dte: My 8 DON vg = 0.23 ppb Criticl period Spore rrivl 2,5 2,0 1,5 1,0 0,5 0, Jours juliens Adpted from Bérubé et l. (2009)

18 Choice of cerels vrieties (QC) RGCQ trils: New score for sensibility in 2008 (1 to 9) Vrieties: Scores close to 1 (when possible) Whet: 1 to 2 Brley: 3 to 4 Vrieties less sensible to lodging

19 Winter whet (Ontrio) vs Fusrium Winter whet DON content (Ont., ) Yer Number of smples DON (ppb) verge DON (ppb) (higher vlue) Helth Cnd guidelines 2 ppb in soft whet, under review Source: Ljiljn Tmburic-Illinic, U. Guelph

20 Corn hybrids vs toxins Study on hybrids toxin content - RGCQ trils: 3 res 1- Less thn 2499 CHU (3 sites) CHU (2 sites) CHU (3 sites) - Grins smple from trils between 2009 nd Toxins evlution: Desoxynivlenol (DON), zerlenone (ZEN), fumonisin, T-2 Source: Prvrndeh-Frimni, Vnsse,Trembly nd Rioux, 2011

21 % of smples under the limits Are (CHU) DON ( < 1 ppb) ZEN (< 0.25 ppb) T-2 (< 1 ppb) 2009 < % 96% 100% % 99% 100% 2010 < % 94% 100% % 96% 100% % 98% 100% 2011 < % 93% 100% % 99% 100% % 95% 100%

22 Corn hybrids vs toxins According to sites nd yers: - Significnt effect of hybrid for some toxins % of hybrids nb under the limit of 1 ppb DON (2009) Are < 2499 CHU: - Erly tril: 77% - Lte tril: 83% Are of CHU: - Erly tril: 91% - Lte tril: 100%

23 Corn hybrid vs toxins Hybrids under the limit of 1 ppb DON in 2010: - Are < 2499 CHU: 59% - Are of CHU: 76% - Are of CHU: 83% Hybrids under the limit of 1 ppb DON in 2011: - Are < 2499 CHU: 30% - Are of CHU: 84% - Are of CHU: 65%

24 Corn hybrid vs toxins - As for cerels, the yer/climte fctor is importnt for the presence of toxins in corn. - DON: Ares of less thn 2499 CHU seems more t risk (Exceeding % higher thn for other res). - ZEN: A few smples exceed the limits. - T-2: No limit exceeding

25 Intercropping Élisbeth Vchon

26 Intercropping tril: Whet-clover Tril: Lrge fields nd experimentl plots With or without clover (red clover/white clover) With or without bio-fungicide (Clonostchys rose) Yield, DON of whet grins Élisbeth Vchon Munger, 2008

27 Intercropping tril: Whet-clover - Clover hs not decresed DON content. - Estblishment of clover in spring is relted to soil moisture. - If spring is dry, there is less clover coverge in between whet rows nd it cn t contribute to DON reduction. Élisbeth Vchon Munger, 2008

28 Mngement system vs Fusrium Whet tril t L Poctière ( ) 3 tillge methods: Plowing, minimum tillge, no-till 2 mngement systems: With inputs (fertilizers, herbicides) Without inputs (Actisol, mecnicl weeding) Monitoring on weeds, spores, DON, yield Munger, 2008

37 Conclusion on fungicides - Proline nd Prosro decresed DON content: Of 46% (whet), of 34% (brley), of 25% (ot) - Folicur decresed DON content of 30% (whet) - Folir fungicides decrese intensity of lef spots but not DON: DON higher: Hedline (brley,ot),quilt (brley) - Fungicides (FHB): To be considered for yers of Fusrium, but not lwys stisfctory: DON

38 Control methods Severl control methods Study on whet in 2005 u ND Symptoms Heds Fusrium index % % reduction symptoms 1. Fusrium index = (nb FHB heds x nb spikelets on FHB heds) x 100 DON ppb None = previous crop whet, sensible vriety (Reeder), without fungicide Rottion = previous crop soyben, vriety sensible (Reeder), without fungicide Cultivr MR = Alsen (similr level to these of AC Brrie) Fungicide = Folicur % reduction of DON None Rottion Rottion + Cultivr MR Rottion + MR + Fung Adpted from McMullen (2007; 5 e Colloque Cndien sur l Fusriose)

39 Hrvesting nd drying of cerels - Hrvest immeditely t mturity or before for whet (14 to 19% moist.) nd decrese wter content to less thn 14% - Dry nd ventilte the hrvest properly in order to mintin n dequte moisture content (13.5%) For the entire storge period

40 Conclusion - Rottion cerels with crop such s: Soyben, cnol, pes, clover, lflf - If rottion impossible, plow cerel or grss residues - Plnt erly - Choice of cerel vrieties less sensible nd corn hybrids corresponding to CHU re - Avoid lodging (resistnt vriety nd mngement)

41 Conclusion Other control methods: - Seeding of intercropping (clover) - Appliction of fungicide for FHB (respect stge, nozzles, etc.) Hrvest rpidly, dry or ventilte dequtely for mintining dequte moisture (13.5%)
