Fusarium culmorum is a cosmopolitan species found on all continents except Antarctica. It is common in temperate and cool climates. It occurs mainly in soil, but also in manure and compost. Fusarium culmorum is a parasite and saprotroph of many angiosperm species, as well as some coniferous plants and fungi. The fungus attacks various parts of a wide range of cereal crops in cooler and humid regions of Europe and Canada, causing many diseases, including root rot, stalk rot, and seedling blight in small-seeded cereals, as well as ear rot, clover rot, and crown rot in corn.
F. culmorum is the most commonly isolated plant pathogen causing diseases collectively known as fusarium wilt. Among the plants cultivated in Poland, these include fusarium wilt of field beans, beans, peas, fusarium head blight of cereals and corn cobs, dry rot of potato tubers, fusarium wilt of soybeans, flax, hops, and fusarium wilt of some ornamental plants. Fusarium culmorum spores are isolated from all parts of infected plants. Many strains of F. culmorum produce mycotoxins such as zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and nivalenol.
Diseases caused by fungi of the genus Fusarium are the main cause of crop losses in many crops, including wheat, rice, corn, and bananas. Crop losses result not only from reduced yields, but also from reduced crop quality associated with the presence of mycotoxins produced by fungi. In recent years, mycotoxins have attracted considerable interest, and regulatory limits have been established and enforced in the EU and several other countries.
