Pre- and postharvest management of aflatoxin in maize: an African perspective. (2008, background): “Aflatoxin production depends on factors such as: water stress, high-temperature (> 32°C) stress, insect damage to the host plant, susceptible crop growth stages, poor soil fertility, high crop density, and weed competition (Bruns, 2003).”
Detection of Fungus-Infected Corn Kernels using Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy and Color Imaging (2011, background): “In the case of corn, aflatoxin and fumonisin are the most common and most toxic mycotoxin compounds produced by fungi (Bruns, 2003).”
Aflatoxin control and prevention strategies in key crops of Sub-Saharan Africa (2011, background): “Management practices that reduce the incidence of aflatoxin contamination in the field include timely planting, maintaining optimal plant densities, proper plant nutrition, avoiding drought stress, controlling other plant pathogens, weeds and insect pests and proper harvesting (Bruns, 2003).”
Planting Date Effects on Bt and Non‐Bt Corn in the Mid‐South USA (2006, background): “Planting date has been shown to facilitate mycotoxin contamination ( Bruns, 2003 ).”
