*2.3.4* Curvularia lunata

*C. lunata* is a foliar fungal pathogen that causes Curvularia leaf spot of maize, especially during the hot and humid seasons [52]. *C. lunata* produces a furanoid type toxin, both *in vitro* and *in planta*, which can possibly lead to leaf lesions which invariably lead to a reduction in maize yields [53].
