Evaluating a generic drought index as a predictive tool for aflatoxin contamination of corn: From plot to regional level

2018-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Corn (Zea mays L.) kernel infection by Aspergillus flavus and subsequent aflatoxin accumulation in grain can have a deleterious effect on both humans and animals that consume contaminated grain. Predicting the aflatoxin risk is challenging due to complex interactions of biotic and abiotic stress factors that govern and exacerbate the phenomenon. The goal of this study was to determine whether a drought index could...
