AB  - The species of the genus Fusarium and Aspergillus are the most common pathogens of maize 
kernels worldwide. The most common species among them are F. verticillioides, F. 
graminearum and A. flavus. These fungi produce a wide spectrum of mycotoxins, among which 
the most common are fusariotoxins: trichothecenes-deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins (FBs) 
and aflatoxins: aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The aim of this study was to examine the mycopopulation 
on maize kernels after harvest, as well as the concentration of their mycotoxins in kernels.
Standard mycological examinations of maize kernels revealed the presence of toxigenic species 
of fungi from three genus, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium. In the examined samples, the 
species F. verticillioides was most often isolated in majority of hybrids, with a maximum 
incidence of 32%, while the presence of Aspergillus spp. was from 0 to 17%. Mycotoxicological 
analysis of maize kernels was performed by the ELISA method using a commercial kit (Tecna 
S.r.l., Italy). All analysed samples were positive for the presence of at least one mycotoxin. The 
differences between the examined hybrids in the concentration of mycotoxins in the grain were 
statistically significant (P <0.001) for DON and FBs, but not for the content of AFB1. Likewise, 
the interaction between hybrids and localities was statistically significant (P <0.001) for DON 
and FBS content, while it was not statistically significant for AFB1 concentration. The average 
DON concentrations were 127,55 µg kg–1
, FBs 3050,21 µg kg–1
, and AFB1 2,98 µg kg–1
.
