Fusarium graminearum  and  Zymoseptoria tritici  cause economically important diseases of wheat.  F. graminearum  is one of the primary causal agents of Fusarium head blight (FHB) and  Z. tritici  is the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB). Alternative control methods are required in the face of fungicide resistance and EU legislation which seek to cut pesticide use by 2030. Both fungal pathogens have been described as either hemibiotrophs or necrotrophs. A microbial fermentation-based product (MFP) was previously demonstrated to control the biotrophic pathogen powdery mildew, on wheat. Here we investigated if MFP would be effective against the non-biotrophic fungal pathogens of wheat,  F. graminearum  and  Z. tritici.  We assessed the impact of MFP on fungal growth, disease control and also evaluated the individual constituent parts of MFP. Antifungal activity towards both pathogens was found  in vitro  but MFP only significantly decreased disease symptoms of FHB  in planta . In addition, MFP was found to improve the grain number and weight, of uninfected and  F. graminearum  infected wheat heads.

A Microbial Fermentation Mixture Reduces Fusarium Head Blight and Promotes Grain Weight but does not impact Septoria tritici blotch
