AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES, ECOLOGICAL AND VARIETAL EFFECTS ON AFLATOXINS AND OTHER MYCOTOXINS IN CORN

Objective

Determine agronomic systems and environmental practices that maximize corn grain yields and profits while minimizing inoculum potential of Aspergillus flavus and toxin development in Mid South corn crops. Identify competing organisms and compounds to minimize aflatoxins, fumonisins, and their respective causal fungi. Determine the efficacy of plant resistance to insects in suppressing mycotoxin production.
