Pink ear rot of maize caused by Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium graminearum
can lead to severe yield losses and contamination of grain with a range of mycotoxins. Maize stalks colonized
by Fusarium spp. are the main primary inoculum source for Fusarium incited epidemi...

ompetitive exclusion of aflatoxin producers by endemic atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus is a proventool for aflatoxin management being adapted for use in Africa. Field efficacy of an experimental formulationconsisting of four native atoxigenic strains (La3303, La3304, La3279 and Ka16127) ...

Crops frequently contaminated by aflatoxins are important sources of revenue and daily nourishment in manyportions of sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, reports have associated aflatoxinswith diminished human healthand export opportunities in many African Nations. Aflatoxins are highly carcinog...

Aflatoxins are a common contaminant of cereals that can cause cancer, liver disease, immune suppression, retarded growth and development, and death, depending on the level and duration of exposure. Maize is an introduced crop to Africa and there have been efforts over the last 20 years or so to r...

Fusarium stalk rot is one of the most widespread and destructive diseases of maize, and deployment of resistant genotypes is one of the most effective strategies for controlling the disease. Fifty inbred lines and four checks from the breeding program of the International Institute of Tropical Ag...

Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination is a major problem facing maize growers worldwide, and host resistance is the most effective strategy to control the disease, but resistant genotypes have not been identified. In 2003, a total of 103 maize inbred lines were evaluated for Fusarium ear r...
