Popis: Aflatoxin assays and moisture determinations were made on locks from bolls inoculated withAspergillus flavus 30–32 days from flower and harvested after additional periods of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 days. Inoculated locks were always tight but had moisture contents comparable to those in non-inoculated locks on the same bolls. Lowest toxin concentrations were in seeds from bolls still green at harvest with moisture contents >50%; highest concentrations were in bolls with fully fluffed locks and moisture contents
