Aspergillus flavus spore suspension was inoculated to rice and groundnut and fermented. Total aflatoxin production on rice and groundnut was found to be 12.25 and 9 ppm respectively. Thus rice was a good substrate for the growth of Aspergillus flavus. The bioassay of aflatoxin B1 resulted in lethality of the chick embryo.
