Abstract

Efficacy of some local plants in the management of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination was investigated. Aqueous extracts of rhizome of Zingiber officinalis and leaf extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum inhibited aflatoxin production to a significant level. While solvent extracts of Zingiber officinalis and Oxalis corniculata could suppress both the growth and aflatoxin production by A. flavus. No positive correlation could be observed between mycelial growth and aflatoxin production by A. flavus.
