• DON content in oat grains in Norway related to weather conditions at different growth stages 

      Roer, Anne-Grete; Torp, Torfinn; Brodal, Guro; Aamot, Heidi; Strand, Einar; Nordskog, Berit; Dill-Macky, Ruth; Edwards, Simon G.; Hofgaard, Ingerd Skow (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)
      High concentrations of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), produced by Fusarium graminearum have occurred frequently in Norwegian oats recently. Early prediction of DON levels is important for farmers, authorities and the ...
    • Fusarium langsethiae and mycotoxin contamination in oat grain differed with growth stage at inoculation 

      Aamot, Heidi Udnes; Mousavi, Hesam; Razzaghian, Jafar; Brodal, Guro; Sulyok, Michael; Krska, Rudolf; Edwards, Simon G.; Hofgaard, Ingerd Skow (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-02)
      High levels of mycotoxins are occasionally observed in Norwegian oat grain lots. Mycotoxins of primary concern in Norwegian oats are deoxynivalenol (DON) produced by Fusarium graminearum and HT2- and T2-toxins (HT2 + T2) ...
    • HT-2 and T-2 toxins in Norwegian oat grains related to weather conditions at different growth stages 

      Hjelkrem, Anne-Grete Roer; Aamot, Heidi Udnes; Brodal, Guro; Strand, Einar; Torp, Torfinn; Edwards, Simon G.; Dill-Macky, Ruth; Hofgaard, Ingerd Skow (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)
      High concentrations of the mycotoxins HT-2 and T-2 (HT2 + T2), primarily produced by Fusarium langsethiae, have occasionally been detected in Norwegian oat grains. In this study, we identified weather variables influencing ...
    • Reduced Risk of Oat Grain Contamination with Fusarium langsethiae and HT-2 and T-2 Toxins with Increasing Tillage Intensity 

      Hofgaard, Ingerd Skow; Aamot, Heidi Udnes; Seehusen, Till; Holen, Børge; Riley, Hugh; Dill-Macky, Ruth; Edwards, Simon G.; Brodal, Guro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-11-03)
      Frequent occurrences of high levels of Fusarium mycotoxins have been recorded in Norwegian oat grain. To elucidate the influence of tillage operations on the development of Fusarium and mycotoxins in oat grain, we conducted ...
    • Weather Patterns Associated with DON Levels in Norwegian Spring Oat Grain: A Functional Data Approach 

      Hjelkrem, Anne-Grete Roer; Aamot, Heidi Udnes; Lillemo, Morten; Sørensen, Espen Sannes; Brodal, Guro; Russenes, Aina Lundon; Edwards, Simon G.; Hofgaard, Ingerd Skow (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-27)
      Fusarium graminearum is regarded as the main deoxynivalenol (DON) producer in Norwegian oats, and high levels of DON are occasionally recorded in oat grains. Weather conditions in the period around flowering are reported ...
