Chickpea seeds entering store carry a microflora of 'field' and 'storage' fungi. Field fungi gradually disappear and storage fungi then predominate. These fungi especially Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans, A. ochraceus and Penicillium spp. grow vigorously and initiate grain spoilage and aflatoxin elaboration. The shift in mycofloral spectrum was more rapid in seeds stored in jute bags than those stored in metal bins. Moisture content and aflatoxin contamination in seeds of jute bags was maximum during Sept.-Oct. The internal environment of metal bins is comparatively less influenced by the external conditions and initially restricts fungal growth and aflatoxin elaboration. Prolonged storage however, increases seed moisture content and alfatoxin is increased in chickpea seeds after six months storage in metal bins.
进入仓库的鹰嘴豆种子带有“田间”和“贮藏”真菌菌群。田间真菌会逐渐消失，随后贮藏真菌占主导地位。这些真菌，尤其是黄曲霉、黑曲霉、构巢曲霉、赭曲霉和青霉属，生长旺盛，会引发谷物变质并产生黄曲霉毒素。与储存在金属箱中的种子相比，储存在麻袋中的种子真菌菌群谱变化更快。麻袋中种子的水分含量和黄曲霉毒素污染在9月至10月期间最高。金属箱的内部环境受外部条件的影响相对较小，最初会限制真菌生长和黄曲霉毒素的产生。然而，长时间储存会增加种子的水分含量，鹰嘴豆种子在金属箱中储存六个月后黄曲霉毒素会增加。
