Fusarium acuminatum

Fusarium acuminatum is a fungal plant pathogen.

It was originally found on the living stems of Solanum tuberosum in New York, USA.

Fusarium acuminatum has been found to be a ripe rot pathogen of Actinidia deliciosa (fuzzy kiwifruit) in New Zealand.

It has been found to cause post-harvest Rot on stored Kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta) in China. It was described as soft, brown, slightly sunken, water-soaked lesions with abundant white-to-pink mycelium. It also causes root rot of Maidong (Ophiopogon japonicus) in China. Fusarium acuminatum and Fusarium solani are known to be major pathogens causing root rot of Astragalus membranaceus (Mongolian milkvetch), which can lead to serious yield loss of the herb in China.
