In 2012-2021, an analysis of the fungal biota of cultivated and wild fodder plants in various regions of Azerbaijan was conducted. It has been revealed that 136 types of fungi and fungus-like organisms take part in the formation of their mycobiota. Among the fungi registered in the study, 6.8% belong to fungus-like organisms (Chromista), and the rest to true fungi (Fungi or Mycota). Registered fungi are characterized by a large variety of ecotrophic relationships and forms of ecotrophic specialization. The presence of phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi among registered fungi leads to a decrease in both productivity and biological value of fodder plants([e-mail]).
