Production of fumonisn B1 , B2 and B3 by Fusarium moniliforme ws evaluated on irradiated corn kernls inoculated with differetn spore concentrations ( 10, 102 , 103 and 106) a water activty of 0.97 and a temperature of 25C . There ws a direct relationship between the levelk of toxin produced and inoculum size. The higest levels of total fumonisins produced after 35 days
