Aspergillus fumigatus population dynamics and sensitivity to demethylation inhibitor fungicides in whole-crop corn, high moisture corn and wet grain corn silages.

A. fumigatus significantly increased during aerobic deterioration of ensilaged corn after silo opening, compared with the low presence in fresh corn and during ensiling. Field treatment of corn with DMI fungicides did not affect the sensitivity of A. fumigatus isolates collected from fresh and ensiled corn. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
