Dynamics of Fusarium and fumonisins in maize during storage - A case of the traditional storage structures commonly used in Uganda

► We studied Fusarium incidences during storage of maize using different storage structures over a period of 6 months. ► Overall Fusarium incidences decreased during the storage period. ► Storage of maize in traditional structures for more than 4 months resulted in significant decrease in fumonisin levels. ► Ventilated structures were more efficient at reducing fumonisins in stored maize.
