The main objective of this research was to evaluate three spring wheat cultivars grown in Kazakhstan and the mutant lines of spring wheat (M<sub>3</sub> generations) developed on their genetic background by irradiation treatment (100 and 200 γ rays) for their resistance to Fusarium head blight disease and to use PCR-based DNA markers, such as SSRs markers to investigate genetic diversity in wheat germplasm. Significant differences in tolerance phenotype to Fusarium head blight were found among wheat cultivars and mutant lines. Comparing parent cv “Zhenis” M<sub>3</sub> mutant lines, № 6(15), № 6(16) and 22(1) had the highest means of Fusarium resistance at 15-day after the inoculation. M<sub>3</sub> mutant lines, №89(4) developed on base of cv. “Almaken” can be identified as FHB-tolerant. Three M<sub>3</sub> mutant lines obtained on genetic background of cv. “Erithrospermum-35” №110(1), №129(3) and №150(5) had higher level of Fusarium tolerance then parent cultivar.

High-speed camera simulations, which evaluate the immediate speed of particles during discharge of the hopper, have proved that addition of a material with different distribution of size and shape of the particles (starch) has a favourable effect on the overall flowability of the mixture. When pelletizing a mixture with starch, which has a lower angle of internal friction, the pelletizing pressure in the die is slightly lower and the resulting pellets have a slightly lower density.
