FUSABV
Fusarium brevicatenulatum has been isolated from corn ears and is associated with ear rot, often occurring together with other Fusarium species. The pathogen produces mycotoxins that can contaminate grain. It has been isolated from corn seeds; however, no evidence of seed infection or seed-to-seedling transmission in corn has been documented.
