1. Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Aflatoxin Hotspots in Peanut Fields Using DSSAT CSM-CROPGRO-PEANUT-AFLATOXINAflatoxin contamination in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a persistent concern due to its detrimental effects on both profitability and public health. Several plant stress-inducing factors, including high soil temperatures and low soil moisture, have been associated with aflatoxin contamination levels. Understanding the correlation between stress-inducing factors and contamination levels is essential for implementing effective management strategies. This study uses the DSSAT CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut-Aflatoxin... S. Maktabi, G. Vellidis, G. Hoogenboom, K. Boote, C. Pilcon, J. Fountain, M. Sysskind, S. Kukal |
2. A Decision Support Tool for Developing Aflatoxin Risk Maps in Peanut FieldsAspergillus flavus (A. flavus) is a soil fungus that contaminates preharvest peanuts (Arachis hypogea) with the carcinogenic secondary metabolite aflatoxin. Because aflatoxin can cause serious illness or death at low concentrations (μg kg-1 to mg kg-1), its presence in foods and feeds is strictly regulated by food safety agencies around the world. Based on previous research by the authors, a hypothesis was developed that aflatoxin contamination... G. Vellidis, S. Maktabi, K. Boote, G. Hoogenboom, L. Lacerda, C. Pilcon, S. Shrestha, R. Wiggins |
