Abstract:
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crops in this state, Bihar . It becomes contaminated with different harmfull mycotoxin . Mycobiota and aflatoxin contamination were determined in stored maize samples collected from three villages of Darbhanga District– N. Bihar to know seed quality . A total of 207 fungal isolates of A. flavus were observed in all the samples in which 56 isolates of A. flavus were positive for AFB1 production .The range of AFB1 concentrations were observed from 0.2-5, 0.2-8 and 0.2-10 µg/ml in Sakri , jale and Kusheshwar Asthan , respectively .The maximum toxigenic strains of A. flavus were recorded in Kusheshwar Asthan followed by Jale and sakri . The moisture contents was also observed in all the samples ,which influence the aflatoxin production..
