Lodging would be an important risk factor in mycotoxin production. A case-control study and invention trials were done to clarify effect of lodging on the accumulation of DON and NIV. The concentration of DON+NIV in lodged crop was higher than that of nonlodged one and the mycotoxins production was increased 30% even after 5-7 days lodging. These results suggest that appropriate management practices e.g. cultivar or fertilization to avoid lodging should be required for reduction of mycotoxin contamination.
