An atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus PA67 from Shandong province exhibits potential in biocontrol against toxigenic Aspergillus flavus, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Fusarium proliferatum.

Peanuts and corn are susceptible to various soil-borne fungi, leading to significant economic losses. Atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus have been widely used as biocontrol agents for managing aflatoxin contamination because of their minimal environmental impact, strong competitive ability, and sustained inhibition effect. After multiple identifications and cluster amplification pattern (CAP) analysis, three atoxigenic A.
