Abstract
Maize in flood-affected areas in the Bhagalpur district of India in 1985 demonstrated heavy infestations of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxins. Sixty samples collected from various field lots were positive in the bright greenish yellow fluorescence test. However, only 42 of those samples were found to be contaminated with deleterious levels of aflatoxins. Factors affecting aflatoxin contamination are discussed.Entities:
