DEVELOPMENT OF FIELD BASED TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSING VARIABILITY AMONG COTTON CULTIVARS IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION

Objective

Techniques will be developed and implemented to assess variability among cotton cultivars in vulnerability to aflatoxin contamination during the second phase of contamination and to provide improved understanding of relationships between wetting events and temperature after boll maturation and extent of contamination.
