Eight Fusarium spp. were isolated from greenhouse‐grown jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.) in Mississippi in 1990. Four isolates of Fusarium moniliforme were obtained and when grown on autoclaved rice, produced 115 to 3,200 mg/kg fumonisin B1, (FB1). Other fumonisin‐related compounds, such as FB2, FB3 and FB4 were also produced at levels of 240, 210 and 160 mg/kg, respectively. F. semitectum (1 isolates) was negative for production of fumonisin and other phyto‐toxins. F. oxysporutn (1 isolate) produced only 3.5 g/kg moniliformin. This is the first report of production of fumonisins by F. moniliforme isolated from weeds such as jimsonweed.
