“…Fusarium proliferatum is a worldwide fungal pathogen of various plants. In Germany, this fungus in the past few years has been identified as a garlic dry rot agent (Seefelder et al, 2002), and later, the fungus has been reported in many countries as the main causal organism of clove rot (CR) disease of stored garlic bulbs (SGB) worldwide (Stepien et al, 2011;Tonti et al, 2012;Fuentes et al, 2013;Moharam et al, 2013;Elshahawy et al, 2017;Horákova et al, 2020;Chrétien et al, 2021;Anisimova, Olga et al, 2021). This fungus, as a pathogen, may contaminate seed cloves, infects and colonizes plant roots during garlic growth in the field, and causes later cloves rot disease of SGB (Gálvez and Palmero, 2022).…”
