IMPROVE THE DETECTION OF FOREIGN MATERIAL, GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEED, AND MYCOTOXINS IN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES

Objective

Develop methods to evaluate the performance of aflatoxin sampling plans that measure aflatoxin in high risk grade components of farmers' stock peanuts. Develop a peanut market system model that predicts the efficacy of sampling programs and different market processes in reducing aflatoxin in peanuts. Develop methods to design and evaluate the performance of sampling plans used to inspect corn for fumonisin.
