Effects of the south-western corn borer on Aspergillus flavus kernel infection and aflatoxin accumulation in maize hybrids.

Field studies conducted in 1995 to 1997 to determine the effects of the southwestern corn borer (SWCB) on Aspergillus flavus kernel infection and aflatoxin accumulation in maize hybrids showed that SWCB can substantially increase aflatoxin levels when combined with A. flavus.  However, inoculation and infestation techniques, placement of the fungus and the insect, and timing of inoculation and infestation are all critical in demonstrating a synergistic relationship between A. flavus and SWCB on aflatoxin contamination of maize.
