INFLUENCES OF AGRONOMIC PRACTICES ON SELECTION OF GENETICALLY DISTINCT ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS DURING CYCLES OF AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION

Objective

Characterize adaptive differences among aflatoxin-producing fungi in their interactions with host plants and utilize on farm sampling to describe interactions between the life cycle of the causal agent and agronomic practices and in so doing define optimal windows for implementation of biological control and other interventions.
