“…In relation to the geographical position of the cultivation areas, several studies with grapes had already demonstrated that the geographic area and meteorological con-ditions may contribute to the incidence of fungi and production of OTA (Battilani et al, 2006a, b;Bellí et al, 2006;Chiotta et al, 2009;Serra et al, 2006), however no study was done with cocoa regarding this aspect until the present one. In this context, when considering latitude, longitude and temperature, a higher probability of occurrence of total fungi of the genus Aspergillus was estimated for municipalities of the state of Rondônia, Brazil, located between the parallels of 11° and 13° of South latitude and meridians of 60° and 62° of West longitude, which correspond to Vilhena, Colorado do Oeste, Cacoal, São Felipe d'Oeste and Urupá.…”
