The industrial applications of Fusicladiella has not been investigated.
Quarantine significance
The biocontrol properties of Fusicladiella has not been studied.
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
The chemical application of Fusicladiella has not been studied. Fresh cultures are needed for further studies.
Diversity of the genus
Fusicladiella comprises six species known on three host plant families namely Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Cynareae. Fusicladiella is reported from Austria, Germany, Greece, Iran, Italy, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and Uzbekistan. Comprehensive studies are likely to discover more species of Fusicladiella.
