The deterioration of spice crops caused by the contaminating fungi

Author : Smita Rajput and Dr. Monica Agrawal

Abstract

Fungal contamination of various foodstuffs and agricultural commodities is a major problem in the tropics and subtropics, where climatic conditions and agricultural and storage practices are conducive to fungal growth and toxin production. Contamination of food and agricultural commodities by various types of toxigenic (fungi) is a serious and a widely neglected problem. Regardless of decades of extensive research, mould infection still remains a challenging problem (Munkvold, 2003).
