Tables, references p. 24
Maize kernels were obtained from geographically diverse regions of the worldthrough the international maize testing programmes of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre's (CIMMYT) cooperative programme. Surface- sterilized kernels were incubated and fungi that emerged were identified and counted. Predominant fungi were Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp. More than two-thirds of the kernels obtained from Bolivia (83%), Mexico (67%), and Thailand (79%) were infected with A. flavus group, whereas 17% to 42% of samplesfrom Brazil, Burma, Ghana, Ivory Coast and India were infected by the same group.
