Table 3.
Correlations between FHB index (FHBi), FDK, F. culmorum biomass (F.c. biomass), concentration of DON, NIV, and sum of trichothecenes in grain (TRT), and the ratio of fungal biomass per amount of DON + NIV produced (Biomass/TRT) for data for 27 winter wheat lines from two locations (54 samples). Variables log transformed.
