Occurrence and variation of Fusarium free and masked mycotoxins in maize from agriculture regions of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)In the past years, it has become very clear that in mycotoxin-contaminated foodstuffs, many structurally related compounds generated from plant metabolism or during food processing can coexist with the native mycotoxins. ... -
The role of indigenously-associated abuscular mycorrhizal fungi as biofertilisers and biological disease-control agents in subsistence cultivation of morogo
(North-West University, 2006)The study examined interactions between morogo plants, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Fusarium species. Morogo refers to traditional leafy vegetables that, together with maize porridge, are dominant staple foods ... -
Sustainable use of thirteen South African medicinal plants for the management of crop diseases caused by Fusarium species: an in vitro study
(Elsevier, 2020)Crop fungal infections such as those caused by Fusarium species often result in yield loss pre- and post-harvest and during storage, contaminate food and exacerbate food insecurity. Synthetic fungicides are becoming less ...
