Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of Gibberella fujikuroi species complex (Gfsc) and fumonisins (FBs) contamination in the 2 years (2016 and 2017), different sampling times (14, 28, 42, and 56 days after inoculation-DAI) and treatments considered in the study (untreated, single and co-inoculum with Fusarium graminearum and Aspergillus flavus).
