Size sorting effects on the bulk attributes in maize grain from experimental plots in Mississippi. Grain samples (n = 5) were obtained from maize ears inoculated with Aspergillus flavus in field trials in Starkville, Mississippi (MS) in 2018. a) Size sorting effects on 100 kernel weight, b) size sorting effects on kernel bulk density c) size sorting effects on Ln (aflatoxins) (in ppb), the aflatoxin mean and median (shown in parentheses) of each fraction are presented on the boxplots, and d) percentage of kernel mass in the size sorted kernel fractions. The letters on the boxplots represent results of Tukey's test (treatments with different letters are significantly different, ns: no significant difference between treatments at 95% level of confidence).
