Two experimental models simulating the traditional storage conditions prevalent in Kenya, i.e. the open basket model and the modern wooden box model, were used to study the rate of dissipation and fate of malathion residues in maize grains and beans stored for periods of up to one year at ambient te

In viva and in vitro investigations showed that wheat and sorghum rapidly degrade diniethoate to nontoxic anionic derivatives. Slight oxidation to a toxic analogue occurs but this is similarly degraded. \* \* \*\* \*\* \*\* \*\*\* 00-Dimethyl phosphorothionate 0.98 -nothing detected; \* trace amount
Thirteen fungi including toxigenic Aspergillus nidulans and A . cluvutus were isolated from the grains. The isolated fungi grew well at 25-30 "C. A . clavutus and A . nidulans were grown in liquid maize yeast extract medium and wheat yeast extract medium. Both fungi produced amylases on the two medi
## Abstract The concentrations of formic, acetic, propionic and butyric acids required to prevent growth of __Fusarium__ in wheat grain cultures were determined. The cultures were maintained at 31% moisture content and stored for 4 weeks at 25 ΒΊC followed by 6 weeks at 12 ΒΊC, which were optimum con
