"Predicting aflatoxin content in peanuts using ambient temperature, soil temperature and soil moisture content during pod development"^^ . "Higher than acceptable aflatoxin levels in peanut kernels (Arachis hypogaea L.) and related products is\r\na worldwide food safety concern. Strict regulatory standards by major importers of peanuts limit the\r\nmarketability of peanuts for many developing tropical countries including Zambia. The incidence of preharvest\r\naflatoxins is strongly linked to soil and weather conditions during pod-development. This study\r\naimed to formulate statistical models to predict total aflatoxin content in peanut kernels using selected\r\nenvironmental factors during pod development. Field experiments were conducted for two years during\r\nwhich the peanut crop was exposed to 84 combinations of ambient temperature, soil temperature and\r\nsoil moisture content measured during the last 30 days of pod development. These data were used to\r\nformulate regression models to predict total aflatoxin content in peanut kernels. Simple linear\r\nregression models had R2 values of 0.30 for maximum ambient temperature, 0.24 for soil temperature\r\nand 0.38 for soil moisture content. Combining soil moisture content and soil temperature in a\r\nmultivariate regression model could explain 54% of the variation in total aflatoxin content while a\r\ncombination of soil moisture content and maximum ambient temperature could only explain 46% of the\r\nvariation in total aflatoxin content."^^ .
