Incidence of Fusarium in certain food grains.

摘要

The incidence of Fusarium in preharvest and postharvest samples of sorghum, maize, paddy and pulses was analysed and their mycotoxingenic potential was determined in all species of Fusarium. Fusarium moniliforme [Gibberella moniliformis] was more dominant and occurred in the spermosphere of all the seed samples. Significant percentage of strains were mycotoxigenic and produced one or other mycotoxin. Fumonisins, T-2, zearalenone, DON [vomitoxin], neosolaneol and nivalenol were some of the mycotoxins recorded.
