摘要

CEREALS GROWN AND produced for human food or animal feed are at risk froma wide range of field fungal pathogens. The most dangerous and damaging are panicle diseases, which are carried into store on harvested grain and those picked up from unclean processing and storage equipment even as farmers and merchants strive to add value by cleaning and storing their grain. Stored grain in premium condition sold at the right time commands high market prices.
