Abstract

There have been about twenty kinds of Fusarium genus isolated from a kernel of corn, out of which the most important ones, based on the intensity of appearance, diffusion and economic importance, in the majority of areas where corn is grown, are genuses F. graminearum, F. verticillioides (syn. F. moniliforme) and F. subglutinans, and lately also F. proliferatum. These types of Fusarium genus cause various symptoms on ill plants, such as rotting of kernel and sprouts, rotting of roots and stems, as well as mouldiness and rotting of ear and kernel of corn.
In this work the importance of different kinds of Fusarium genus is described, their most important macroscopic and mycroscopis characteristics, symptoms of fusarioses of ear and kernel of corn, and conditions for development of these diseases, as well as micotoxines and micotoxicoses caused by different Fusarium types. In addition to this, the measures of their control are analyzed.

Keywords
