MYCOTOXINS<br />
Critical points in<br />
<strong>Mycotoxin</strong> production<br />
In India, there are two<br />
major seasons of<br />
maize harvest<br />
1. March to May- Bihar<br />
2. October to<br />
January- Karnataka<br />
Generally maize<br />
is harvested<br />
at 20-25% moisture<br />
It is then dried<br />
for 1 week to bring down<br />
moisture to 10-12%<br />
In monsoons,<br />
harvest is not able to<br />
dry properly<br />
Because of this inadequate<br />
loss of moisture, it remains<br />
at 15-17%. This invites<br />
high fungus growth<br />
and subsequent<br />
mycotoxin production<br />
