abstract: A survey of farmers' peanut fields in Benin showed
that Aspergillus flavus Link ex Fries infection was influenced by Microtermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) damage.
Field trials conducted at the ICRISAT station and a
farmer's plot in Mali on termite damage and Aspergillus
spp. infection showed that peanut plots treated with
carbofuran at planting and supplemented with chlorpyrifos
at 40 days after planting (dap), or treated with only
chlorpyrifos at 40 dap, significantly reduced pod damage
by the termite M. lepidus Sjostedt. and colonization by
A. flavus. The cultivar ICG 10946 which had significantly
more A. flavus (P < 0.05) also had a higher percentage of damaged pods compared with tlle other cultivars at the on-station trials. The least infected cultivar in all the trials was 47-16 which also had a comparatively
lower percentage of termite-damaged pods, although
this was not Significant. However, termite damage
was correlated with A. flavus percentage colonization
