For example, a method for reducing fungal genera related to mycotoxin production, can include contacting said plant with a composition comprising the microorganism Colletotrichum tofieldiae and/or extracts from said microorganism and/or filtrates from said microorganism. A plant is contacted with a composition comprising the microorganism C. tofieldiae, the culture medium or the filtrate. The composition can be applied to the entire plant or to any of the parts thereof, such as to the leaves, sprouts, flowers, fruits, cobs, seeds, bulbs, tubers, roots and to the seedlings. Application of the composition to the plant can be carried out at any stage in the planting, growing, and/or harvesting season.
