In order to understand the mycotoxin control effect of different fungicides and application times on wheat scab and the potential risks caused by the fungicides,different types and times of fungicides were sprayed on the main wheat varieties in Xinyang and Xiangyang for two consecutive years. The determination of DON and four pesticide residue levels were performed using LC-MS/MS. The results showed that all kinds of fungicides,namely,50% carbendazim,25% prochloraz,70% thiophanate-methyl and 25% JS399-19 reduced DON levels differently. The content of DON reduced with the spraying times increased except carbendazim. The DON content in wheat grain was significantly increased by 7%(Xinyang) and 18%(Xiangyang) when 50% carbendazim was sprayed once. However,DON levels decreased to 55%-65%,24%-39% and 20%-27%,respectively,of control when the spraying times increased from 2 to 4. After spraying 25% prochloraz three times,the DON content in grain was significantly lower than that in the control(P<0.05). JS399-19 was the best choice for DON prevention among the four fungicides. DON reduced to 42%-58%,29%-49%,12%-21%,and 6%-10%,respectively,after it was sprayed for 1-4 times. Thiophanate-methyl had the similar effect compared with JS399-19,with the DON level decresed to 6%-12% after it was sprayed 4 times. The residues of the four fungicides in wheat grain increased with the increase of application times. The residue content of carbendazim was the largest and reached to 502.54 μg·kg-1 in Xinyang and 547.38 μg·kg-1 in Xiangyang,which exceeded National Food Security limit,while the residues of the other three pesticides were lower and were within the safety limits. The results also showed that there was a negative correlation between the amount of fungicide residues in wheat grains and the accumulation level of DON,and there was a positive correlation between the application times and the residues. Therefore,it is suggested to spray 2-3 times of fungicides at [JP2]anthesis of wheat in the Yangtze River Basin and Jianghuai Region,which can not only prevent and control mycotoxin pollution,but also avoid the risks caused by high residue of fungicides,so as to ensure the safety of wheat production. |
