The gerbera cultivation areas in India are increasing day by day due to its uses and the market demands. Its cultivation has been hampered by a variety of diseases that affect its flower quality and quantity. Of them, the viral and phytoplasma diseases cause considerable losses in gerbera cultivation.

The objective of this study aims to analyze local and imported wheat grains for fungi particularly Fusarium graminearum chemotype DON and evaluate deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated wheat collected from Bechar region, in south-western Algeria. A total of 64 of wheat samples were examined for fungal contamination and fungal load was determined by means of standard microbiological method. DON was detected using the ELISA technique. The results revealed that 98.44% of analyzed samples showed positive results regarding fungal contamination. More precisely, local wheat was dominated by Aspergillus and Penicillium and imported wheat was dominated by Fusarium, Penicillium and Aspergillus species. Results showed that 62.5% of F. graminearum strains produced DON. Contamination levels of wheat with DON ranging from <0.04 ppm to >5ppm for soft wheat and from <0.12ppm to >15ppm for durum wheat. So, 62.96% of soft wheat grains and 55.56% of durum wheat imported from France, and also 18.18% of local durum wheat exceed the permissible limit by far.

The in vitro results showed that all Trichoderma spp. strains were significantly able to reduce the mycelial growth of the pathogen in dual culture, volatile and non-volatile compounds tests compared with control, with superiority of T. atroviride Tsafi than others. Under in vivo condition, the selected strain of T. atroviride Tsafi had much better performance than T. harzianum IRAN 523C in reduction of disease severity compared with the untreated control.
