1 Effect of Rainfall and Maximum Temperature on Corn Aflatoxin in the Southeastern U. S Coastal Plain Arnold Salvacion, Brenda Ortiz, Brian Scully, David M. Wilson, Gerrit Hoogenboom, Dewey Lee 1
2 What is Aflatoxin? Carcinogenic toxin produced by the mold fungi Aspergillus Flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus Contaminated corn is especially toxic to especially young animals and poultry Sudden death in poultry and livestock (High ) / Cause liver and esophageal cancer (Low) Corn grain with Aflatoxin > 20 ppb can not marketed. Corn can not enter inter-state commerce and only can be used for livestock feed. Yellow-green powdery growth of Aspergillus flavus on a corn rootworm-damaged ear. (Source: Alison Robertson Iowa State) 2
3 Factors driving contamination Drought and heat stress during kernel filling High ambient temperatures 3
4 to reduce Aflatoxin risks associated with climate and weather conditions Objective Drought conditions are prone during the summer months in the Southeast May, 17, 2011 Identify the effect of rainfall and temperature on Corn Aflatoxin Contamination in the Southeastern U. S. Coastal Plain 4
5 Specific Objectives 1. Determine probability of aflatoxin contamination greater than 20 ppb for a given amount of rainfall and maximum temperature. 2. Determine which temporal resolution (Monthly, Decadal, and Weekly) of rainfall and maximum temperature can better predict probability of contamination 5
