Differential Response of Cotton Varieties to Infection by Aspergillus flavus

C. M. Brown, L. J. Ashworth, Jr. and J. L. McMeans2

Ten cultivars of upland-type cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) tested in the Imperial Valley of California were susceptible to infection by Aspergillus flavus. But two cultivars were more severely affected than the others, based upon the amount of aflatoxins occurring in seeds at harvest. Seeds of ‘Paymaster 54-B’ had about 800 ppb aflatoxins and seeds of ‘Stoneville 3209’ had about 125 ppb aflatoxins while seeds of the other cultivars contained a trace to 6 ppb aflatoxins.

Key Words: Aflatoxins • Gossypium hirsutum L.
