[Occurrence of Fusarium species and their mycotoxins in corn silage. 5. Fusarium infestation in corn silage].
The internal mycoflora of silage maize plants was examined in several years. Average Fusarium infection of the maize plants was 10.4% and leaf sheaths and stalks were preferably colonized by the fungi. During the growing season an increase in total colonization of the maize plant by field fungi as well as by species of the genus Fusarium was observed 17 different Fusarium species were isolated from silage maize plants. Most frequently occurring species (more than 85%) in descending order were F. avenaceum, F. culmorum, F. equiseti, F. sporotrichioides, F. crookwellense, F. oxysporum, F. sambucinum var. coeruleum.
