BIOCHEMICAL, PHYSICAL, MICROBIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT FOR PREVENTION OF MYCOTOXINS IN PEANUTS

Objective

Develop economical, practical, and effective formulations for delivery of aflatoxin biocontrol, organisms to the field; Obtain EPA registration of an aflatioxin biopesticide and implement its use in commercial peanut production; Characterize the toxigenicity and pathogenicity of native Aspergillus populations and identify more aggressive competitors against naturally occuring strains;develop peanut cultivars with enhanced resistance to mycotoxin contamination.
