Fusarium crookwellense (syn. Fusarium cerealis)[1] is a species of fungus in the family Nectriaceae. It is known as a plant pathogen that infects agricultural crops.
The fungus was first described in 1982 after it was found infecting potatoes in Australia.[2] It causes plant diseases such as corn ear rot and wheat head blight.[3] It has also been found on hops causing a necrotic blight on the cones.[4]
Like other species in genus Fusarium, this fungus produces mycotoxins. It is a source of nivalenol, 4-acetylnivalenol, and zearalenone.[5]
