What is Bioplastic Seed Coating Reduces Aflatoxins about?

This study investigates the use of a bioplastic-based seed coating containing non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus and pesticides to reduce aflatoxin contamination in corn. The results showed that this method significantly decreased aflatoxin levels in harvested corn compared to conventional pesticide treatments alone across various field locations. The bioplastic coating did not negatively impact seed germination or seedling growth, suggesting it is a viable biocontrol strategy for corn production.
