Fungal pathogens are involved in serious damage to a wide range of crops, causing significant negative impacts on the economy. Early detection and identification of these pathogens are crucial for effective prevention and treatment strategies. Currently, fungal identification relies on classic microbiological, biochemical, immunological, and molecular methods. However, these methods are often time-consuming, lack specificity, and ineffective for screening a large number of samples. Our study proved the potential of FTIR microscopy as a sensitive and effective method for detecting and distinguishing between various fungal genera.
