How can toxin contamination of cereals be prevented?
Although the harvest of cereals is already upon us, it is not too late to protect against toxin contamination. The publication “In the shadow of mycotoxins: how to prevent toxin contamination of cereals” prepared by the National Chamber of Agriculture provides assistance to arable crop growers in this regard. In the volume, farmers can read about a number of useful cultivation and storage technologies and methods.

According to observations, more severe infections can be expected in drought years, so it is particularly important for farmers to take steps to prevent the infection of their crops. However, protection is not easy. Experience shows that plant protection treatment alone or the correct application of a cultivation technology element is not sufficient to reduce the toxin content; the combined use of these can prevent infection by pathogens.
Mycotoxins can significantly damage both animal and human health, so infected grains cannot be used for food or feed
After harvest, the toxin content of grains can no longer be reduced, and even improper storage conditions can further increase the toxin content of the crop. That is why it is important for as many people as possible to learn about the technologies and good practices related to the prevention of toxin contamination, which they can then incorporate into their own farming practices. This process is intended to be facilitated by the publication of the National Chamber of Agriculture. In the publication entitled “In the Shadow of Mycotoxins: How to Prevent Toxin Contamination of Cereals?”, NAK experts summarized the cultivation and storage technologies and methods that play a role in reducing toxin contamination.
