Abstract
Fusarium pathogens are causal agents of several crop diseases and produce harmful mycotoxins resulting in crop and yield reduction worldwide. Among crop diseases, Fusarium wilt, Fusarium head blight, and Fusarium root blight are mostly reported diseases in numerous vegetables, crops, and fruits and have posed pressure on current food production and safety. In addition, the production of mycotoxins further aggravates plant health and causes serious health risks in humans and animals through food chain contamination. Different management practices have been enlisted in this chapter to reduce or eradicate Fusarium wilt in different crops. Interestingly, various mechanisms developed by plants have also been highlighted to fight against Fusarium pathogens and limit the growth of mycotoxins. One of defence mechanisms is plant antioxidant mechanisms to reduce oxidative stress by increasing enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to maintain cellular homeostasis under Fusarium infection. The other defence response is through hormonal signalling to combat fungal pathogens. Different phytohormones such as salicylic acid, ethylene, jasmonate, abscisic acid, cytokinin, auxin, and other plant secondary metabolites play a crucial part in the reduction of Fusarium growth and inhibit mycotoxin production through defence-related genes. Further, the use of different pre-harvest and post-harvest strategies has been elucidated to enhance plant resistance and growth by decreasing fungal pathogenicity and virulence.

1. Introduction
World’s population is growing exponentially and will reach 10 billion by 2050, adding pressure on available food production, its demand, and safety [1]. On the contrary, different environmental factors such as climate change, diseases, pests, and droughts are severely affecting current food supply and production system [2]. Different plant diseases cause crop reduction and yield losses which are major threats to food security globally. These diseases caused by various plant pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses can pose severe plant damage leading to economic losses [3, 4]. Among plant pathogens,
Plants are equipped with various plant defence mechanisms to combat these phytopathogens, and these mechanisms include plant physical barriers (structural changes), changes in different metabolic pathways to produce plant secondary metabolites (chemical changes), plant antioxidant system, hormonal signalling, and expression of defence-related genes [15, 16, 17]. Therefore, to prevent
1.1 Fusarium species as plant pathogens
These pathogenic species may enter into plant roots from soil or other media such as air, ground, and water. In addition, other factors including insects, injuries caused by new roots, and nematodes can lead to disease development or its symptoms such as chlorosis, necrosis, and wilting (Figure 1) [28]. The direct attack of

Plants employ mechanisms such as chemical modification and compartmentation of
In addition, genetic modification either by plant breeding or transgenesis can significantly prevent pathogens and their mycotoxins. For instance, rice plants expressing the

Plant hormones play a crucial role in defence mechanisms to protect plants from
SA production is linked with
JA also plays an important part in signal transduction to induce plant defence responses under biotic stress conditions and is also involved in SAR during plant-pathogen interactions. For instance, JA treatment in rice significantly increased plant resistance against necrotrophic pathogens by activating the phenylpropanoid pathway [116]. The important roles of JA, SA, and ET were studied in tomato plants using gene markers of the hormones against

10.3 Use of natural products from medicinal plants
Plant products exhibit antifungal properties and are eco-friendly in nature as these compounds do not persist in the environment for a longer period than other synthetic fungicides [143]. These plant extracts are widely being used in the agriculture sector to prevent fungal pathogens and control plant diseases. The antimicrobial property is based on the presence of certain secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, polyphenols, tannins, and other compounds [144]. Numerous studies have elucidated the roles of plant products to prevent fungal infection of various
