DropSorting effects on bulk kernel attributes in maize grain from experimental plots in Mississippi. Kernel samples were from inoculated ears with Aspergillus flavus in field trials in Starkville, Mississippi (MS) in the years of 2017 (48 samples, 19 hybrids) and 2018 (10 samples, five hybrids). a) DropSorting effects on 100 kernel weight of samples from MS17, b) DropSorting effects of 100 kernel weight of samples from MS18, c) DropSorting effects on kernel bulk density of samples from MS17 & MS18, d) DropSorting effects on Ln (aflatoxins) in parts per billion (ppb) of samples from MS17 & MS18, the aflatoxin mean and median (shown in parentheses) of each fraction are presented on the boxplots, and e) percentage of kernel mass in the DropSorted kernel fractions. The letters on the boxplots represent results of Tukey's test (treatments with different letters are significantly different at 95% level of confidence.
