Isolation of Fusarium Species from the Infected Lentil Plant

Fusarium is a filamentous fungus in the genus Fusarium. It is commonly isolated from soil and plant debris. The fungus has a worldwide distribution, but its frequency as a medically important pathogen is not fully known. Aside from keratitis, it is an infrequent cause of fungal infections but remains the most common disease-causing fungus in its genus. Fusarium species causes major loss in lentil yield, so its disease management practices are necessary to control the diseases caused by Fusarium.
