Of these samples, 68% are showing symptoms likely to be caused by Fusarium head blight pathogens.<br />Isolations to identify the species causing the symptoms have been carried out on over 60 samples. <em>Microdochium</em> species (non toxin producers), <em>Fusarium poae</em> and <em>F. graminearum</em> are the most common pathogens found (on 60%, 53% and 33% of samples respectively). http://cropmonitor.co.uk/wwheat/livemonitoring/2007wheatmonitoring/viewCMReport.cfm?rep_id=26 CropMonitor live-monitoring report compiled by TAG http://cropmonitor.co.uk/FoLCompiledReports/viewReport.cfm?week_id=54 Compiled by Farming Online from reports received from members of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants
