A further advantage of Bt maize is reduced contamination by fungal toxins ( mycotoxins ).
Maize plants weakened and damaged by the chewed-out hollows of the corn borer larvae are susceptible to fungal infections.
Some of those fungi, such as Fusarium, produce mycotoxins that contaminate maize-derived food and fodder.

Durch Fraßspuren der Zünslerlarven verletzte und geschwächte Maispflanzen sind anfällig gegenüber Pilzinfektionen.
Einige dieser Pilze, z.B. Fusarien, produzieren so genannte Mykotoxine, die Futter- und Lebensmittel aus Mais belasten.
