Abstract
Above average rainfall in Maryland during August, September, and October 1971 resulted in heavy mold growth in soybeans while still in the field. Of 28 samples of soybean seed, aflatoxins were found in 14, 2 of which had been used in poultry feed. Aflatoxins were identified by thin-layer chromatography, spectrophotometry, and chicken embryo bioassay.
Aspergillus
spp. were isolated from 11 samples, and 5 of these isolates produced aflatoxins when grown in liquid culture.
