Postharvest application of low rates of DMX-7 mold inhibitor on storage fungi of corn during ambient air drying and storage.

Corn grain (23.6% moisture) was treated immediately after harvest with DMX-7 Mold Inhibitor (48% propionic acid) at rates of 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% DMX-7. After treatment, the grain was augered into modified grain bins and dried using ambient air. The incidence of storage fungi was determined following plating of kernels on malt salt agar. DMX-7 Mold Inhibitor reduced the incidence of Penicillium spp. and at some grain sampling levels Aspergillus spp. when compared to the untreated. In general, the control of storage fungi resulted in fewer damaged kernels as determined by a licensed federal grain inspector, however, the difference was only significant on some sampling dates.
