Fusarium head blight is an ancient disease and is very common throughout the world. In this article, we review current knowledge concerning the effects of cultural practices on the development of head blight and the production of toxins in the field. The qualitative effects of these practices on the severity of the disease and/or the production of toxins are in the process of being elucidated but, in many cases, detailed studies have not yet been carried out or conflicting results have been obtained. However, it should be noted that these effects have not yet been quantified. Three different cultural practices are today considered to be of prime importance for combating this disease and the production of mycotoxins: deep tillage, the choice of the preceding crop in the rotation and the choice of appropriate cultivar, as varietal effects exist.

Fusarium Head Blight and Crown Rot on Wheat & Barley: Losses and Health Risks (2015, background): “Mycotoxins are chemically and thermally stable contaminants which have toxic effects in animals and humans [31].”
Hyperspectral measurements of yellow rust and fusarium head blight in cereal crops: Part 2: On-line field measurement (2018, background): “…be explained by the fact that both yellow rust and 360 fusarium species can survive in soil and weeds occurring in the hedgerows and borders of a field, 361 acting as a source of inoculum for the following cropping season (Imathiu et al., 2013; Jenkinson and 362 Parry, 1994; Champeil et al., 2004).”
Natural mechanisms for cereal resistance to the accumulation of Fusarium trichothecenes (2008, background): “Since no efficient fungicides are presently available to fully control Fusarium development and/or toxin accumulation (Champeil et al. 2004), it is best to prevent the development of the disease in the crop.”
Pathogen population structure and epidemiology are keys to wheat crown rot and Fusarium head blight management (2006, background): “The economic significance of FHB worldwide has meant that extensive and comprehensive knowledge of FHB epidemiology is available from several countries and there are several recent reviews highlighting the state of knowledge (Shaner 2003; Champeil et al. 2004; Edwards 2004; Goswami and Kistler 2004)”
Integrated strategies for the control of Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol contamination in winter wheat (2012, neutral): “Thus, FHB disease and DON contamination are more 19 severe if the preceding crops are maize or sorghum, rather than wheat or barley and 20 even less contamination is observed following other crops (Champeil et al., 2004b; 21 Smith-White et al., 2004). 22 Limited soil tillage or no-tillage increase t”
Impacts of changing climate and agronomic factors on fusarium ear blight of wheat in the UK (2012, background): “There may also be changes in the presence of certain weeds that influence the amount of inoculum and the predominant FEB species since several common weeds are hosts of F. culmorum and F. graminearum (Champeil et al. 2004a).”
Survival of Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight. A review (2012, background): “Although F. graminearum can survive on residues buried 20 to 25 cm deep for more than 4 years, it can only develop on plant debris in the upper centimetres of the soil (Champeil et al. 2004).”
