Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple food for the majority of theworld's population. Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.)Nirenberg (Teleomorph: Gibberella moniliformis Wineland;synonym: F. moniliformis) is both a saprophyte and a parasiteof maize and can also be found as an endophyte. The presence of this fungus inmaize constitutes an imminent risk due to its ability to produce fumonisins,mycotoxins with proven carcinogenic effects. The present work investigatedbiocontrol activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens andMicrobacterium oleovorans against F.verticillioides infection and fumonisin B1 production infield-grown maize during four consecutive growing seasons. Treatment withB. amyloliquefaciens consistently reduced F.verticillioides inoculum and fumonisin content of harvested grains.F. verticillioides count and fumonisin levels correlatednegatively with rainfall regimes; however, none of these parameters showedsignificant correlation with yields. Treatment with these biocontrol agents mayimprove phytosanitary quality of the grains and reduce toxicological risk in themaize agroecosystem
