Description This report summarizes results from on-farm management of aflatoxin
contamination of groundnut activities conducted by ICRISAT and IER in
Mali, with funding support from CFC. A number of technologies to minimize
aflatoxin contamination were tested on-farm with participation of the farmers
in two regions of Mali. The technologies included tolerant varieties, soil
amendment using farm yard manure, crop residues and lime as well as bestbet
harvesting and drying techniques. Applying these technologies resulted
in aflatoxin reduction ranging from 70-84%. More than 50% of the farmers
applying the technologies are producing groundnut with tolerable levels of
aflatoxin contamination (i.e. < 10 ppb). The technologies are being scaledout
in Nigeria and Senegal.
