Values represent means ± SE. Fusarium head blight index (FHBi), amount of grain, grain mass per spike, and mass of one piece of grain were calculated in 45 replicates, while mass of one thousand seeds (MTS) were calculated in 3 replicates. Different superscript letters (a–d) FHBi and yield parameters indicate significant differences between means within columns (Duncan’s multiple range test; p < 0.05).
