The natural occurance of T-2 toxin and fumonisins in maize samples in Croatia

Maize (Zea mays) considered to be one of the most frequent crops in Croatia, is often contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible contamination of maize with T-2 toxin and fumonisins on 46 samples from different regions of Croatia. The highest concentrations of T-2 toxin and fumonisins were 210 and 25, 200 ng/g, with mean values of 110 and 4, 509 ng/g, respectively, pointing to maize contamination with these mycotoxins after the period of the year with extremely high rainfall.
