FUSAPF
Fusarium proliferatum is a fungal pathogen that infects crops like maize and is associated with ear and kernel rot. It can reduce seed yield and quality and is known for producing mycotoxins that are harmful to animals and humans.
Fusarium proliferatum is widely distributed and can infect maize plants from soil, contaminated seeds, or through spores carried over by wind, water, and insect wounds.

Common seed production practices, careful harvesting, seed cleaning, conditioning, seed treatment, and proper storage, along with resistant varieties, should decrease the risk of this pathogen.
