In Argentina, due to climatic conditions, Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum, affected the 1993/94 wheat crop. To evaluate the severity of this disease, samples of wheat where gathered from four zones of the wheat area. Sanitary conditions and mycotoxin contamination were determined. One zone (IIN) was intensely affected by FHB with 90% of samples in grade III (bad quality). No samples were grade I (good quality). The other zones were less affected falling into grade I or II (moderate quality). In all samples tested F. graminearum was the most prevalent species singly or in combination with others. Zone II N, with a DON mean level of I1.26 ppm, did not fulfil aceptability limits, whereas zones IIS, III and IV with overall means of 2.12, 1.57 and 1.0 ppm, respectively, did. Statistical analysis showed a close relation between percentage FHB and DON contamination (r:-0.71, p<0.01) in infected samples.
