Pre and postharvest management of aflatoxin contamination in peanuts
Aflatoxin exposure is frequent and widespread in most African countries where the key staples, maize and groundnut, are particularly vulnerable to aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin-producing fungi are ubiquitous in Africa where they occupy soil and colonize diverse organic matter while producing...

Impact assessment of groundnut research in Zimbabwe
Groundnut or peanut is an important annual oilseed and food legume crop grown in diverse environments throughout the tropical world. About 31 viruses representing 14 genera were reported to naturally infect groundnut in different parts of the world. Among these, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), ...
The major mycotoxins studied at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re-search (CGIAR) institutes are aflatoxins in maize, groundnut, sorghum and cassava, Fusa-rium toxins in maize, wheat and sorghum, and ochratoxin in cocoa and cashew. Genetic en-hancement (both through plant bre...

A major constraint the smallholder farmer faces in the West African semi-arid tropics (WASAT) is the low productivity of soils, which is often combined with land and labor shortage, caused in part by low productivity of labor, lack of cash resources, and limited access to credit. Groundnut and co...
