Fusarium brevicatenulatum is a fungal pathogen reported on several crops, including corn, cucumber, sorghum, and tomato. In corn, it has been isolated from rotten ears and is associated with ear rot, often occurring together with other Fusarium species. The pathogen produces mycotoxins that can contaminate grain. It has also been isolated from corn seeds, demonstrating its association with seed. However, no evidence of seed infection or seed-to-seedling transmission in corn has been documented. While it occurs on diverse hosts, there are no reports linking it to significant yield losses.
