Maize samples were collected from nine Grain Marketing Board (GMB) centres in Zimbabwe during the 1991 harvest season and further samples were collected directly from farmers and from GMB centres in Chinhoyi and Kwekwe during the 1992 harvest season and analysed mycologically. The predominant flora was Fusarium. The ability of these isolated to produce zearalenone (ZEA), moniliformin (MON) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) was tested using a simplified TLC Agar plate method. Of 886 isolated tested, only one produces all three mycotoxins simultaneously whilst most produced FB1 and/or MON. Only nine isolated produces ZEA.
