| Abstract: |
| Ear rot maize cause significant yield losses worldwide. Pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium and Aspergillus lead to crop reduction and a large amount of mycotoxins pollution, some of which have a notable impact on human and animal health. Multiple measures have been established in various countries to protect consumers from the harmful effects of these mycotoxins. Several factors are involved in pathogens such as Fusarium and mycotoxin occurrence and among them environmental factors and the agronomic practices have been shown to deeply affect disease infection and mycotoxin contamination in the field. This paper particular emphasis will be placed on how environmental conditions and stress factors for the maize can affect pathogenic fungi infection and disease, what measures can be taken to effectively prevent and control the occurrence of ear rot of maize from the source, with the aim to provide scientific guidance for formulating effective control strategies to prevent the harm of corn ear rot and its mycotoxin pollution. |
