better harvesting methods to
better storage methods to
better use of environmental and financial resources to
better control of aflatoxin.

Through the development of expert systems, the farmer can more efficiently produce a high quality crop. With the release of afla-guard^®, the economic future looks much better for the peanut industry as well. Advances developed at the NPRL have provided the consumer with a safer, better quality peanut.
