Ayalew, A.Kimanya, M.Matumba, L.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitMenkir, A.Cotty, P.[Controlling aflatoxins in maize in Africa: strategies, challenges and opportunities for improvement]Controlling aflatoxins in maize in Africa: strategies, challenges and opportunities for improvement

This report documents the key activities that were carried under the AgResults Aflasafe Pilot Project during the 2018/ 2019 maize-growing season on the verification process to trigger premium payments for successfully harvested and aggregated Aflasafe™-treated maize.


IITAAkande, A.Bandyopadhyay, R.Ortega-Beltran, A.Falade, T.Okpachu, G.Shenge, K.Cotty, P.[The AgResults Nigeria Aflasafe TM Challenge Project: 2019 Annual Report]The AgResults Nigeria Aflasafe TM Challenge Project: 2019 Annual Report

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), diverse fungi belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi frequently contaminate staple crops with aflatoxins. Aflatoxins negatively impact health, income, trade, food security, and development sectors. Aspergillus flavus is the most common causal agent of contamination. H...


Bandyopadhyay, R.Atehnkeng, J.Ortega-Beltran, A.Akande, A.Falade, T.D.O.Cotty, P.["Ground-truthing" efficacy of biological control for aflatoxin mitigation in farmers' fields in Nigeria: from field trials to commercial usage, a 10-year study]"Ground-truthing" efficacy of biological control for aflatoxin mitigation in farmers' fields in Nigeria: from field trials to commercial usage, a 10-year study

ompetitive exclusion of aflatoxin producers by endemic atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus is a proventool for aflatoxin management being adapted for use in Africa. Field efficacy of an experimental formulationconsisting of four native atoxigenic strains (La3303, La3304, La3279 and Ka16127) ...


Atehnkeng, J.Ojiambo, P.Cotty, P.Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit[Field efficacy of a mixture of atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Link: Fr vegetative compatibility groups in preventing aflatoxin contamination in maize (Zea mays L.)]Field efficacy of a mixture of atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Link: Fr vegetative compatibility groups in preventing aflatoxin contamination in maize (Zea mays L.)

Crops frequently contaminated by aflatoxins are important sources of revenue and daily nourishment in manyportions of sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, reports have associated aflatoxinswith diminished human healthand export opportunities in many African Nations. Aflatoxins are highly carcinog...


Probst, C.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitCotty, P.[Diversity of aflatoxinproducing fungi and their impact on food safety in subSaharan Africa]Diversity of aflatoxinproducing fungi and their impact on food safety in subSaharan Africa

Maize infected by aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus may become contaminated with aflatoxins, and as a result, threaten human health, food security and farmers’ income in developing countries where maize is a staple. Environmental distribution and genetic diversity of A. flavus can influence ...


Atehnkeng, J.Donner, M.Ojiambo, P.S.Ikotun, B.Augusto, J.Cotty, P.Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit[Environmental distribution and genetic diversity of vegetative compatibility groups determine biocontrol strategies to mitigate aflatoxin contamination of maize by Aspergillus flavus]Environmental distribution and genetic diversity of vegetative compatibility groups determine biocontrol strategies to mitigate aflatoxin contamination of maize by Aspergillus flavus

Pre- and postharvest contamination of aflatoxin in maize is a major health deterrent for people in Africa where maize production has increased dramatically. This chapter highlights management options for pre- and postharvest toxin contamination in maize. Sound crop management practices are an eff...


Hell, K.Fandohan, P.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitKiewnick, S.Sikora, RCotty, P.[Preandpostharvest management of aflatoxin in maize: an African perspective]Preandpostharvest management of aflatoxin in maize: an African perspective

Aspergillus flavus has two morphotypes, the S strain and the L strain, that differ in aflatoxin-producing ability and other characteristics. Fungal communities on maize dominated by the S strain of A. flavus have repeatedly been associated with acute aflatoxin poisonings in Kenya, where managemen...
