Effect of insect damage to maize ears, with special reference to Mussidia nigrivenella (Lepidoptera; Pyralidae), on Aspergillus flavus (Deuteromycetes; Monoliales) infection and alfatoxin production in maize before harvest in the Republic of Benin
Maize infection by Aspergillus flavus Link and subsequent aflatoxin contamination as affected by insect damage to maize ears before harvest was studied with surveys in farmers' fields and in a field trial in the Republic of Benin, West Africa. The most important pest species was the lepidopteran ear...
