ABSTRACT:
The compound ancymidol, a known potent plant growth retardant and weak fungicide, has now been found to inhibit biosynthesis of trichothecene toxins on substrates susceptible to growth of trichothecene-producing fungi. These fungi are known to contaminate cereal grains, forage crops, and potatoes. The effective level of ancymidol addition for toxin inbibition is substantially less than that required for control of fungal growth.
