Abstract
A total of 10 maize varieties comprising of 5 inbreds and 5 hybrids we re tested for the production of fumonisin B-1 by Fusarium moniliforme MRC-826 in laboratory. Considerable variation in fumonisin B-1 product ion was found between different maize varieties. Most of the varieties supported good fungal growth but the toxin production was not correla ted with the fungal biomass.
