Reduction of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in the Mediterranean basin maize chain

The main mycotoxigenic fungi found in maize in the Mediterranean basin include Aspergillus section Flavi and several Fusarium species, Fusarium section Liseola being the more widespread. While Aspergillus section Flavi species can develop in the field or in stored maize in Mediterranean countries, F...
