Fusarium

Fusarium is a type of fungus commonly found in soil and on plants. It can cause diseases in crops, leading to issues like rot and wilt, affecting agriculture significantly. Some Fusarium species produce toxins that can contaminate food, posing health risks to humans and animals. While it plays a role in natural decomposition, its negative impacts on food production and safety are significant concerns. Effective management practices are important in agriculture to minimize Fusarium-related problems, ensuring healthy crops and safe food.
