%X Aflatoxin contamination seriously affects the edible quality of groundnuts and its  products rendering them unfit for human and livestock consumption. Various surveys  conducted in different parts of India have shown high aflatoxin levels in groundnut food  products ( Gewande,1997). Terminal droughts are often a predisposing factor for aflatoxin  contamination in groundnut. In the present study the genotypic variation in aflatoxin  contamination under terminal moisture stress is examined
