Fusarium ear blight, also known as FEB, is a fungal disease of cereals including wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale. It is caused by a range of Fusarium fungi that infect the heads of the crop and reduce grain yield. The disease is often accompanied by contamination with mycotoxins the fungi produce while the crop is still growing in the field, and it can cause severe economic losses because mycotoxin contaminated grain cannot be sold for food or feed.

Caused By Agent Kind
Entity-backed identity for the agent-kind enum value this pest or disease already carries, resolved to an agriculture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The agent-kind fact itself stays on the pest or disease unchanged.
