Groundnut is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions where the occurrence of drought in the later phases of the growing season of the crop is common. This plant is unusual because flowers are formed and fertilized above the soil and subsequent fruit development takes place in the soil. The subterranean pod is, therefore, in close contact with soil microorganisms for an extended period, and many species of soil fungi including A. flavus have been isolated from healthy and damaged seeds.

Besides a higher percentage of toxigenic conidia in diara than in nondiara areas, the percentage of viable conidia of toxigenic A. flavus in wet months is comparatively greater than in dry or cold months. Percentage incidence of A. flavus was affected by season and location. Location alone, however, had lesser effect. Correlation between air borne inoculum of A. flavus and aflatoxin contamination in fields has been reported also [23,41]. Higher incidence of aflatoxin in standing maize crops during monsoons and summers than in winters is obviously due to high frequency of toxigenic conidia of A.
