Relative colonization rates of maize cobs of different ripening ages (R3, R4, R5) by a toxigenic strains of A. flavus (NRRL 3375) when point inoculated and incubated at the water activity levels of the different growth stages at 30 and 37°C. Statistical test performed after lesion diameter (mm) data was transformed to Log(x + 1) to achieve normality fit (Shapiro Wilk p ≥ 0.05). The values of p indicate no difference between temperatures. Treatments with the same letters indicate no differences in the ripening stages based on the Tukey’s HSD test (p ≥ 0.05).
