Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Approximately 6% of A. flavus isolates from commercial fig orchards in California belonged to the atoxigenic strain AF36.
- Intervention effect Soil under drip lines where AF36-infected wheat was placed had a higher density of A. flavus/A. parasiticus than under drip lines in untreated areas.
- Intervention effect All A. flavus isolates from soil under drip lines in treated areas belonged to AF36, compared with 18.7% in untreated areas.
- Intervention effect AF36 application did not significantly change the density of A. flavus/A. parasiticus on leaves between treatments.
- Intervention effect AF36 was present at higher levels on leaves in treated areas than in untreated areas.
- Observation Almost all A. flavus isolates from noncaprified figs collected from the orchard floor belonged to the applied strain AF36.
- Recommendation Atoxigenic strains show promise for reducing aflatoxin contamination of figs.
