Abstract
Studies by Hagler et al. (1987) from 1981-1985 revealed that much of the grain sorghum grown in North Carolina was, except in 1983, contaminated at - harvest with zearalenone (ZE), deoxynivalenol (DON), and toalesser degree, aflatoxins (AF) B1 and B2. These studies defined some factors controlling occurrence of these mycotoxins in grain sorghum. Rainfall during flowering and early maturation was associated with the Increased incidence and concentration of ZE and DON. In 1983, there was a drought during this critical period which apparently prevented ZE and DON contamination (Bowman et al. , 1986; Hagler et al. , 1987). Zearalenone had been reported in grain sorghum previously (Schroeder and Hein, 1975; Bennett and Shot well, 1979; Shotwell et al. , 1980; M c Millian et al. , 1983). Deoxynivalenol, which frequently occurs with ZE in corn ( Thiel et al. , 1982), had not been previously reported as a contaminant of sorghum until 1981 (Hagler et al. , 1987).
