Effect of temperature on aflatoxin production in Mucuna pruriens seeds [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989
This paper describes the effect of temperature on the level of aflatoxin production in Mucuna pruriens seeds. The highest level of aflatoxin B1 (1.75 micrograms/g) was detected in the samples incubated at 25 degrees C for three weeks. At 20, 30, and 35 degrees C, aflatoxin levels were 0.30 to 0.56, 0.37 to 1.20, and 0.26 to 0.65 micrograms/g ...

Soil Weed Seed Bank Response to Crop Management Practices on Smallholder Farms Across an Agroclimatic Gradient in Zimbabwe

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Weed seed banks function as subterranean reserves that continuously replenish weed populations, driving future infestations on farms. This study examined how various crop management practices on smallholder farms influence the size and composition of weed seed banks, analyzing farmer‐managed fields across an agroclimatic gradient in Zimbabwe.
