Abstract

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
