A characteristic of the species composition of pathogenic fungi of the genus <i>Fusarium</i> in corn biocenoses of the Voronezh region by T. M. Kolomiets, M. I. Kiseleva, N. S. Zhemchuzhina, L. F. Pankratova, S. A. Elizarova

“…It has been shown that pathogenic and phytotoxic activity in fungi varies signif icantly between Fusarium species and within the same species. The greatest danger to corn is represented by the species F. sporotrichioides, F. graminearum, F. culmorum, F. fujikuroi, F. oxysporum, F. heterosporum, which have a high intensity of phytotoxic activity associated with the fact that they contribute to the synthesis and accumulation of dangerous toxins in plant tissues. …”
