Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of Aspergillus section Flavi (AsF), Gibberella fujikuroi species complex (Gfsc) and Fusarium graminearum species complex (Fgsc) incidence artificially co-inoculated on maize ears and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), fumonisin B1+B2 (FBs), and deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in the 2 years (2016 and 2017) and different sampling times (14, 28, 42, and 56 days after inoculation-DAI) considered in the study.
