Effect of pyridazinone herbicides on growth and aflatoxin release by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus

G. A. Bean, A Southall

Abstract

The influence of pyridazinone herbicides on aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus was studied in liquid media. Mycelia production was not affected by 20, 40, or 60 micrograms of herbicide per ml; however, aflatoxin production by A. parasiticus was higher in media with herbicide, whereas A. flavus produced lower aflatoxin levels.
