Sorghum (Andropogan Vulgare) fodder samples (285), collected from different regions of Andhra Pradesh contained Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, and species of Fusarium domi-nantly. Anatoxins and zearaienone were elaborated by considerable number of isolates of A. flavus and F. moniliforme respectively. However, none of the isolates of A. nidulans elaborated sterigmatocystim.
