Association of fungi with maize seeds was recorded three times <em>viz</em>., within a month after harvest, after three and six months of storage at 25°C and 4°C. The fungal association varied with duration of storage period. Seven fungi <em>viz</em>., <em>Aspergillus flavus </em>Link, <em>A. fumigatus </em>Fresenius, <em>A. niger </em>Van Teighem, <em>Curvularia lunata </em>(Wakker) Boedijn, F<em>sarium verticillioides</em>, <em>Penicillium italicum </em>and <em>Rhizopus stolonifer </em>(Ehrenb.) Vuill., were isolated from the different maize varieties namely KhaiBhutta, Barnali, Mohor, Bari Misty Bhutta, BHM-3, BHM-5, BM-5, BHM-6, BHM-7, BM-7 and BHM-9. Species of <em>Aspergillus</em>, <em>Penicillium </em>and <em>Rhizopus </em>were predominating fung iwhich increased with the increase of storage period.</p> <p>Bioresearch Commu. 7(2): 1010-1018, 2021 (June)</p>}, number={2}, journal={Bioresearch Communications}, author={Sadia, Ummay and Shamsi, Shamim and Bashar, Md Abul}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={1010–1018} }
