Effects of Leaf Cutting on <i>Fusarium</i> Head Blight Disease Development, Photosynthesis Parameters and Yield of Wheat under <i>F. graminearum</i> Inoculation Condition

<i>Fusarium</i> head blight (FHB), caused by <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>, occurs mainly on developing wheat seeds, which are important energy sinks. Leaf cutting (removing a portion of the energy sources) could have an effect on the damage caused by <i>F. graminearum<...
