Cereals can be infected with fungi in the field and produce mycotoxins – toxic metabolites for humans and animals. In storage under favourable conditions fungi also can grow and produce mycotoxins. The fungi of Fusarium species can produce mycotoxins: trichothecene, fumonisins i zearalenone. In stored grain infected with fungi outer parts of kernels are usually damaged. It can influence feeding and development of granary weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.). The studies were carried out in 2009. Seven different species of type of Fusarium: F. avenaceum, F. culmorum, F. equiseti, F. poae, F. oxysporum, F. sporotrichioides, F. triticum were tested.
