Abstract Effect of two important mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 and citrinin (concentration 2 g m-3) at various combinations (i.e., 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3 and 3:1, v/v) on seed germination, seedling growth, chlorophyll, carotenoid, starch, sugar, protein and nucleic acid contents, α-amylase activity, and respiration quotient was studied in maize cv. Suwan composite. The maximum and minimum inhibitions were recorded in most of the above parameters (except starch) at 3:1 and 1:3 combination ratios of these toxins, respectively. However, the inhibition rates varied with the treatments.
