Pearson’s correlation coefficients between Fusarium ear rot severity (FER) and fumonisin B1 concentration (FB1) of F₃ families, measured with two inoculation methods (F = side-needle and T = toothpick), in early (A) and late (B) sowings of 2011 and 2012. I. Correlation between traits within the same sowing time. II. Correlation between traits across different sowing times and different years
