Abstract
Eight Fusarium species i.e. F. subglutinans, F. solani, F. oxyspoum, F. sterilihyphosum, F. proliferatum, F. monili-forme, F. avena and F. chlamydspore isolated from mango malformed disease were tested for their ability to cause mango malformation disease and their production of moniliformin and total fumonisins (FB1 + FB2) using HPLC. A evaluated for moniliformin production, seven isolates were toxin producers, the production levels ranging from 0.51 to 8.90 μg/ml. The higher levels were produced by Fusarium subglutinans (8.51 μg/ml). Moderate concentrations of moniliformin was produced by F.moniliforme (6.90 μg/ml), F. oxysporum (6.30 μg/ml), F. proliferatum (4.10 μg/ml) and F. sterilihyphosum (1.10 μg/ml). Separation and identification of Fumonisin that was isolated from the pathogen- causing disease are made by (HPLC). A evaluated for total fumonisin production (FB1 + FB2), seven isolates were toxin producers, the production levels ranging from 0.10 to 8.30 μg/ml. The higher levels were produced by F. monili-forme (8.30 μg/ml. Moderate concentrations of fumonisin was produced by F .proliferatum (0.64 μg/ml) and F. subglu-tinans (0.50 μg/ml). Strong positive correlations between moniliformin and total fumonisins (FB1 + FB2) activities and malformation disease incidence by F. subglutinans, F. solani, F. oxyspoum, F. sterilihyphosum, F. proliferatum was observed.
