Abstract

A model for aflatoxin development in groundnuts infected by Aspergillus flavus under drought stress was developed using data from controlled geocarposphere (top 2.54-5.08 cm soil zone) temp. test plots during 1985-86. The aflatoxin contamination process was approximated by a first- order kinetics model with a growth rate dependent on daily av. geocarposphere temp. The model was expressed in a finite- difference form for possible incorporation into plant growth models or programmable environmental data collection systems
