Improved Aflatoxin Management in Corn with Afla-gaurd and the Effects of Late Season Fungicide and Afla-guard Combinations of Aflatoxin..

Objective

1) Evaluate strobulurins, trazoles, and traditional fungicides and conbinations of fungicides for their activity against Aspergillus (A.) flavus and their effect on aflatoxin produciton. 2) Determine optimum rate and timing of application of Afla-Guard. 3) fungicide and Afla Guard interactions NOTE: All trials will be carried to yield and concentrations of aflatoxin will be determined from each plot. In addition, laboratory isolations will be made to determine the ratio of toxigenic and non-toxigenic Aspergillus flavus present from each plot and the potential interaction with fungicide products.
