Aflatoxins in Nigerian groundnut: continuous threat to health, agriculture and foreign trade
This Policy Brief is an integral component of proactive measures being taken to create awareness and sustain on-going measures to effectively manage aflatoxin contamination in groundnut and other crops prone to aflatoxin contamination.
Towards a successful management of aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in northern Nigeria: A case study of the groundnut value chain
This paper presents multiple pre-emptive management measures in the management of aflatoxins in the groundnut value chain in Nigeria.

Response of Irrigated Groundnut to Polythene Mulching on Broad Bed and Furrows during the Low Temperature Months in Nigeria
This article presents the results of field experiments conducted to evaluate the response of selected groundnut varieties to Polythene Mulching (PM) on Broad Bed and Furrows (BBF) in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria.
Evaluation of Different Fertilizer Sources for the Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the Southern Guinea savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Nigeria
This study presents the results of field experiments conducted in Nigeria to evaluate how combinations of Farmyard Manure (FYM), Gypsum, Single superphosphate (SSP) and NPK fertilizers affected yield and aflatoxin contamination.
Legume breeding and seed systems for improved livelihoods and impact
This abstract summarises the aims and achievements of the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
