Determine the composition and geographic structure of A. flavus communities resident in South Texas. Establish the population dynamics of A. flavus in the cotton-corn-sorghum rotation of South Texas. Assess potential of atoxigenic strains native to South Texas to competitively exclude aflatoxin producers and thereby reduce aflatoxin contamination. Perform field plot evaluations to determine the potential of atoxigenic strain technology as a management tool for aflatoxin contamination in South Texas.
