GENETIC ANALYSIS OF AFLATOXIN AND AGRONOMIC TRAITS IN GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.)
ABSTRACT Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the major crops susceptible to Aspergillus flavus infection and subsequent aflatoxin contamination which adversely affects its production and utilization in the small holder setting. Although there are several management strategies that may reduce aflatoxin contamination of groundnuts, the pre-eminent strategy for the prevention of aflatoxin is to develop host resistance to A. flavus. The objectives of this study were to ...
