The dominant mold fungi isolated from stored Henan tobacco leaves were identified, and the control effects of fungicides against those fungi were detected. The results showed that Aspergillus was the main dominant fungi, Penicillium the next. Sorbic acid potassium, calcium propionate, double acetic acid sodium, dehydrogenated sodium acetate, 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid ethyl ester and dimethyl fumarate (DMF) showed obvious control effects against dominant mold fungi, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium citrinum.
