Abstract:Maize grain production in the tropics is affected by Fusarium verticillioides, leading to significant losses in yield and quality. Fungicides are commonly used to control foliar diseases and increase grain yield, but have limited efficacy against F. verticillioides and may even stimulate the fungus to produce mycotoxins. Biocontrol can reduce F. verticillioides populations and fumonisin, but little is known about the resulting microbial interactions on the phylloplane and their relationship with F. verticillio… Show more
