Wikidata: Q137096 Has disease name: Aspergillus boll rot of cotton | Aspergillus ear rot | Storage rot of groundnut | Storage rot of maize | Storage rot of rice | Yellow mould of peanut Biocontrol agent host: Epilachna vigintioctopunctata | Saccharicoccus sacchari Category: Biological control agents Family: Trichocomaceae Genus: Aspergillus Species: Aspergillus flavus Aspergillus flavus is a saprotrophic and pathogenic fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution. It is best known for its colonization of cereal grains, legumes, and tree nuts. Postharvest rot typically develops during harvest, storage, and/or transit. Its specific name flavus derives from the Latin meaning yellow, a reference to the frequently observed colour of the spores. A. flavus infections can occur while hosts are still in the field (preharvest), but often show no symptoms (dormancy) until postharvest storage and/or transport. In addition to causing preharvest and postharvest infections, many strains produce significant quantities of toxic compounds known as mycotoxins, which, when consumed, are toxic to mammals. A. flavus is also an opportunistic human and animal pathogen, causing aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. xxxSource Wikipedia |

Management of Aspergillus in groundnuts
Recognize the problem
Aspergillus
is a mould that infects groundnuts and other crops like beans and
maize. It is commonly called
‘
Chuku
’.
When the mould grows on the kernels
inside the shells it can produce a poison called aflatoxin.
Background
The mould survives on crop debris and in soil. It attacks the plants...

Aflatoxins in maize
FACTSHEETS FOR FARMERS www.plantwise.org Created in Kenya , September 2011 Aflatoxins in maize Recognize the problem Aflatoxin is a poison produced by moulds (" mbuu ") that grow on maize and other products such as peanuts and rice. Maize in Kenya is highly susceptible to Aflatoxin contamination. Food that is very contaminated with Aflatoxin can be dangerous, especially to young children. Contaminated maize has a yellowish green powder on the...
