| Abstract: | The weather conditions in 1977 were generally not favorable for corn production in many of the southeastern states. A combination of stress factors, weather conditions, and insect damage was favorable for ear mold by species of theAspergillus flavus group.A. flavus was the dominant fungus in preharvest corn, and this led to extensive aflatoxin contamination. |
