Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Inoculated Aspergillus flavus did not grow in maize kernels below 17% moisture.
- Observation Kernels at roughly 21-31% initial moisture accumulated aflatoxins shortly after inoculation.
- Observation Aflatoxin level was highest in kernels harvested 113 days after planting.
- Observation Airborne A. flavus was rarely detected in the maize field.
- Association Earlier harvest timing was associated with more A. flavus on soil in the maize field.
