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 ...


Setamou, M.Cardwell, K.Schulthess, F.Hell, K.[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]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

Aflatoxins are dietary contaminants that are hepatocarcinogenic and immunotoxic and cause growth retardation in animals, but there is little evidence concerning the latter two parameters in exposed human populations. Aflatoxin exposure of West African children is known to be high, so we conducted...

IT 84S-2140 and IT 85F-1517 (cowpea varieties) susceptible to scab disease caused by Sphaceloma sp. were treated with severely infected cowpea plants in 1989 and 1990 field trials. Different levels of disease intensity were generated by treatment with benomyl using two different methods of applic...

Farmer survey conducted in 1991 and 1992 revealed that some farmer's combat storage moulds using locally available plants. Extracts and combination of extracts of nine different plant species that are used as traditional medicines and aromatic spices in Nigeria were tested for the effect in vitro...

From 1999 till 2001, management strategies for the reduction of aflatoxin in maize were developed in participatory tests with farmers. After 6 months of storage, maize in bags contained more aflatoxin than maize in traditional farmers’ stores. Harvesting maize late increased the risk of aflatoxin...
