Trails work at the STAR project in Suffolk (England) during 2010 demonstrated that, ahead of winter wheat, shallow cultivations are more likely to pass on mycotoxin infection (deoxynivalenol - DON) to the following crop than inversion-based cultivations such as the plough.
Although mycotoxin levels in general last year were very low in England, because of the very dry weather, there were still differences in the level of DON recorded following various types of cultivation, said NIAB TAG agronomist Neil Watson. “We think that when using shallow cultivations the trash remaining from the previous crop is not buried sufficiently and passes on infection to the next crop.
