Occurrence of Aspergillus flavus in the maize plant during growing in the field was studied. Samples of maize plant parts were collected 10 times at one week interval. Inside infection and surface colonization in silks, cobs and kernels were remarkably high than other plant parts. Aflatoxin were detected after 102, 112 and 119 days of maturity. Number of kernels infected with A. flavus were much higher than those from the cobs.
