Location: Crop Production and Protection
Project Number: 0500-00053-005-205-G
Project Type: Grant
Start Date: May 1, 2026
End Date: Apr 30, 2030
Objective:
The objective of this project is to provide rapid, cost-effective, and accurate mycotoxin analysis - especially deoxynivalenol (DON) - for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB or scab) research projects.
Approach:
The project will use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to provide quick and accurate measurement for DON and related mycotoxins, such as 3-acetyl-DON, 15-acetyl-DON and nivalenol (NIV). The DON diagnostic services will be available year around for FHB research projects.
