CHARACTERISTICS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS FUSARIUM CAUSING CEREAL CROPS DISEASES

Abstract

Biological features, pathogenesis, methods of detection, identification and control of fungi of the genus Fusarium, capable of causing diseases in various types of plants, in barley and wheat. Information is provided about the main mycotoxins synthesized by fusaria, as well as ways to reduce their concentration in the affected grain. The need for the development and implementation of biological methods for controlling fusarium pathogens is noted.
