USE OF ATOXIGENIC STRAINS OF A. FLAVUS TO MANAGE AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION OF CORN IN TEXAS

Objective

1) Follow Experimental Use Program for Corn once approved by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 2) Experimental course initiated in 2006 will continue. 3) The natural distribution of the atoxigenic strain within each treatment area in Texas will be determined as well as incidence of the high aflatoxin producing S strain. 4) In new treatment areas, the behavior of soil applied wheat seed colonized by an atoxigenic strain of A. flavus will be determined.
