Mould infection and aflatoxin contamination of the peanut kernels harvested from spring and fall crops as affected by artificial inoculation of the seeded kernels with Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger.

Mould infection and aflatoxin contaminationof peanut crops in Taiwan following artifical inoculation of the seeded kernels with conidia of Aspergillus flavus, A. niger and a combination of A. flavus and A. niger were determined.  In crops from unioculated kernels, percentagees  of germination and harvested plants were higher  in spring crops than in autumn crops.  Inoculation with A. niger alone or together with A. flavus resulted in various levels of seed and seedling mortality and lower yields of peanut pods than yields of the other inoculation treatment.  After harvest, examination of the kernels showed that fairly low percentages were colonised and aflatoxin contents were low or non-detectable and also that colonisation and aflatoxin content were independent of artificial inoculation.
