Fusarium score of maize variety

[Zippy768]

Not sure if this is better here, or dairy.
How important and relative is the fusarium score of a maize variety when being followed by wheat?

Maize variety doesn't affect the mycotoxin risk score for your following wheat. Yet. Worth considering if you're wanting to grow a milling variety but there isn't much market there since Premier Foods (Rank Hovis) at Southampton shut, only small mills at Andover & Avonmouth.

Why do you say "yet"?
Will only be feed wheat.
Will fusarium spores(?) be more likely left in the maize stubble with a lower score variety?
Or do I not have to worry about fusarium scores in maize at all

 

[Brisel]

My experience of growing different maize varieties isn't great, so I'm not fit to comment further. If thinking about the wheat, I wouldn't worry but would assume that you have a significant risk of fusarium in the following wheat, especially if you min till, grow a susceptible wheat variety etc.

A far greater risk for wheat following grain maize , with all the trash left on the surface

That was what I was thinking, especially with it not ploughed in.
I went with the higher scored variety. £4/acre extra. Would I see that back though? I imagine I would treat the following wheat crop the same regardless
