Perennial and seasonal contamination of maize by aflatoxins in eastern Kenya
Abstract Background Aflatoxin contamination of grain is a major constraint to sustained quality cereal production. The causative fungi, Aspergillus species infect crops in the field and continue to do so post-harvest where they produce toxins in store. The current study aimed at establishing seasona...
