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.
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.
Pre-empting aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in northern Nigeria: a case study of the groundnut value chain
This study presents preliminary results of pre-emptive measures being undertaken by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics and national partners on the management of aflatoxin contamination in the groundnut value chains of selected states in northern Nigeria.
Prevalence and distribution of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mali, West Africa
This review analyzes the prevalence and distribution of aflatoxins in the groundnut value chain in Mali and suggests timely interventions that can help to minimize health-related hazards and exposure to aflatoxin contaminated food.
