Abstract
Fungi of the group Fusarium spp. have long been recognized as pathogens on many plant species. Wheat and other small grain cereals may be attacked by Fusarium spp. on different plant organs, but the infestation of the ear appears to be most critical, leading to Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as Fusarium ear blight (FEB), pink mold or scab. The risk of a FHB epidemic is high when natural inoculmn is abundant (e.g. conidia or ascospores on crop debris on the soil surface) during warm and humid weather at flowering.
