Article Synopsis
- A study in Kenya and Tanzania analyzed 571 maize samples collected during the 2013 harvest to determine the link between weather conditions and aflatoxin B1 contamination.
- Aflatoxin B1 was found in 0-100% of samples, with an average incidence of 29.4% and a maximum concentration of 6075 µg/kg.
- Random forests modeling showed the best accuracy at 80%, indicating that low rainfall early in growth combined with high temperatures could signal contamination risks, leading to the creation of risk maps for both countries.
