Ontario corn is mostly clean of ear mould and mycotoxin levels are in line with long-term averages, says the annual survey of corn in the province.
The survey is conducted by OMAFRA field crop specialists with help from Grain Farmers of Ontario and members of the Ontario Agri-Business Association
The 2020 survey found 89 per cent of samples tested were less than two parts per million of DON, which is acceptable for feeding to animals.
Fifty-eight per cent of samples tested lower than 0.5 parts per million of DON, 31 per cent from 0.5 per cent to two per cent and 10 per cent from two to five parts per million. There was only one sample over five parts per million.
