A perturbative treatment of the Landau-Zener decay out of the ground-state band of a Bose-Hubbard model is presented. The decay channels are derived from a full two-band model in the presence of an additional linear Stark force. The dynamics of the ground-state band can be switched from a regular to a chaotic regime. The choice of the dynamical regime strongly influences the nature of the many-body Landau-Zener decay, which is mediated by the atom-atom interaction and the Stark force simultaneously.
