Journal articles Open Access Occurrence of Fusarium Head Blight of Wheat and Associated Mycotoxins in Narok and Nakuru Counties, Kenya C.K. Mutegi · J.W. Muthomi · N.K. Njeru · O.O. Okumu +1 more Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an important disease of small grain cereals. This study assessed the incidence and severity of FHB of wheat at hard dough stage, and levels of deoxynivalenol and T2-toxin at harvest by direct competitive enzym… RUF-35999 2016 CC BY 4.0 25 Jul 2016
Journal articles Open Access Effect of Cropping Systems on Accumulation of Fusarium Head Blight of Wheat Inocula in Crop Residues and Soils C.K. Mutegi · J.W. Muthomi · N.K. Njeru · J.M. Wagacha Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an economically important disease of wheat, which causes reduction in grain yield both quantitatively through reduced seed weight and qualitatively by contaminating grains with mycotoxins. The effect of croppi… RUF-35985 2016 CC BY 4.0 22 Jul 2016
Working Document Series Open Access Relationship between grain yield and Fusarium head blight in soft red winter wheat as influenced by cultivar resistance L. V. Madden · A. P. Pierce · J. D. Salgado · M. W. Wallhead Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a serious disease in all wheatgrowing areas in the world. FHB affects wheat by reducing yield and grain quality. Our objective is to characterize the relationship between FHB and grain yield. Three soft red wi… RUF-34578 2010 CC BY 4.0 7 Sep 2015
