Abstract Maize is an important cereal crop for domestic markets as well as foreign trade in several developing countries. In India, it is the most valuable cash crop. Aspergillus flavus is commonly present in the soil. It produces a highly carcinogenic toxin called aflatoxins which are health hazardous to animals. Due to the presence of A. flavus, aflatoxin affected the germination of maize (Zea mays L.). There are vast economical losses due to aflatoxin infection in maize seeds. During the investigation, Study was done about the contamination during the germination of maize seeds and the expected trial steps of elimination from infection of aflatoxinB1, Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) produced by A. flavus linked with seed affect amylase activity that inhibits the starch hydrolysis and consequent unavailability of sucrose to the axis of the embryo during the period of imbibition and investigation about the effect of moringa leaf Extract on that type of seeds.
