samples were drawn from 40 free-standing modules of commercially grown arizona seed cotton and analyzed for aflatoxin at the time of moduling and after 27 days of field storage. thirty modules derived from spindle harvested cotton showed no significant increase in aflatoxins following modular storage, while all 10 modules packed with seed cotton derived from ground harvesters yielded significantly higher levels after storage than were detected at the time of moduling. increases in toxin levels ranged from 12-232 with an average value of 67. even under ideal module making conditions significant increases in aflatoxins can be expected in ground-gleaned seed cotton harvested in areas where chronic aflatoxin contamination exists. 9 refs
