Abstract

Fusarium species have been associated with many important diseases of corn, wheat, and soybean, causing significant yield loss in Nebraska; some produce mycotoxins that are harmful to both human and animal consumers. These pathogens are very common in agricultural field soil across the Midwest and cause numerous types of diseases.
