Researchers discovered that a fungus called Talaromyces pinophilus can fight against Fusarium culmorum, a harmful fungus that damages wheat crops and produces toxic compounds. The beneficial fungus works by producing natural enzymes that break down the walls of harmful fungal cells. Importantly, when applied before the harmful fungus appears, it completely prevents infection and toxin production, offering farmers a natural alternative to chemical pesticides.
