The sensitivity of nine cereal fungi to irradiation on grain and in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) was investigated. Species of Fusarium and Alternaria were more resistant to irradiation (higher D 10 value) than Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. Generally D 10 values determined on grain were lower than the corresponding values measured in PBS. The plating medium did not significantly affect the D 10 values.
