“…According to Gromadzka et al [12], in Poland from 2005 to 2014, kernels naturally infected by F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum contained (in mg kg –1 ) up to 710 of FB 1 , 209.72 of FB 2 , and 35.72 of FB 3 . In Italy [46], where the climate is much warmer than that in Poland, the mean levels of fumonisin contamination were remarkably high in years 2006–2008, with the highest value of 10.90 mg kg −1 and the lowest value of 4.80 mg kg −1 .…”

“…The incidence of symptomless infection is usually higher than the incidence of kernel rot [8,9]. Kernel infection by any of these fungi can reduce yields and quality, and result in mycotoxin accumulation in grain, such as deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), fumonisins (FBs), beauvericin (BEA), enniatins (ENNs), and moniliformin (MON) [7,10,11,12,13].…”

Maize has become one of the most important crops for food and feed production—both as a silage and crop residue worldwide. The present study aimed to identify the co-occurrence of Fusarium subglutinans, Fusarium verticillioides, Trichoderma atroviride, Sarocladium zeae, and Lecanicillium lecanii on maize ear rot. Further, the accumulation of mycotoxins as secondary metabolites of Fusarium spp. in maize ear samples was also analyzed. Maize ear samples were collected between 2014 and 2017 from two main maize growing areas in Poland (Greater Poland and Silesia region). A significant difference was found in the frequency of two main Fusarium spp. that infect maize ears, namely F. subglutinans and F. verticillioides. In addition to Fusarium spp. T. atroviride, S. zeae, and L. lecanii were also identified. T. atroviride species was found in 14% of maize samples examined between 2014 and 2017, particularly with a high percentage of Trichoderma spp. recorded in 2014, i.e., in 31% of samples. However, mycotoxin content (beauvericin and fumonisins) varied, depending on both the location and year of sampling. The interaction of fungi and insects inhabiting maize ear and kernel is very complex and not yet elucidated. Therefore, further research is required in this area.
