roles of mycotoxins in cereal crops production: A comparative study of Hungary and Tanzania

Although Hungary and Tanzania's climatic, soil, technological conditions differ significantly in crop production, cereals cultivation is of paramount importance; maize dominates the cultivated area (Hungary 1 million ha, Tanzania 3 ha) both from a feed food point view. Unfortunately, countries, fungal species (Fusaria, Aspergilli, Penicillia, etc.) that produce various mycotoxins on cereals, including grains, are growing concern. The situation complicated because these their toxins can appear not only but also other crops. Despite prevalence studies show higher exposure risks contamination above tolerable levels for human consumption to Hungary, with observing acute aflatoxicosis.
