Fusarium

Overview & Synopsis

Fusarium disease in crops is a major concern for agricultural production worldwide. The fungi primarily target cereal crops, including wheat, maize, barley, and rice, but can also affect other plants. Fusarium species produce mycotoxins, which are toxic compounds that contaminate crops, rendering them unsuitable for consumption or feed. Written by international researchers, Fusarium – Recent Studies presents an overview of recent advances in Fusarium studies that help to understand the pathogen for effective crop management practices.
