MENDOZA, MARYANNE PEISIA, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2000. "Isolation, Identification and Morphological Characterization of Fusarium Species in Selected Corn Varieties." Adviser: Dr. Adelaida E. Sangalang.

This study was conducted to isolate and identify the Fusarium species associated with white and yellow corn varieties. Grains sold in the market, from the field and from home storage were used as sources of Fusarium. Growths of Fusarium in DCPA were transferred in PDA and CLA medium. They were identified based on morphological criteria. Three species of Fusarium namely F moniliforme, F. proliferatum, and F. semitectum were found associated with all corn samples analyzed.

Results also showed that there were no significant differences on the occurrence of Fusarium species found in white and yellow corn varieties. It was also found that based on their average number, there were no significant differences in the occurrence of Fusarium in corn taken from the market, home and field.

The most prevalent Fusarium species isolated was F. moniliforme in both white and yellow corn varieties and in all their sources. This was followed by

F. semitectum and E proliferatum
