By 2050, Africa's population is projected to exceed 2 billion. Africa will have to increase food production more than 50% in the coming 50 years to meet the nutritional requirements of its growing population. Nowhere is the need to increase agricultural productivity more pertinent than in much of...

Fungal communities in soils of Nigerian maize fields were examined to determine distributions ofaflatoxin-producing fungi and to identify endemic atoxigenic strains of potential value as biologicalcontrol agents for limiting aflatoxin contamination in West African crops. Over 1000 isolates belong...

Aflatoxin contamination resulting from maize infection by Aspergillus flavus is both an economic and a public
health concern. Therefore, strategies for controlling aflatoxin contamination in maize are being investigated. The
abilities of eleven naturally occurring atoxigenic isolates in Nigeria t...
