Fusarium wilt raises its head in mungbean crops.. Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) plant pathologist Lisa Kelly said the testing of affected plants would help researchers identify the strain of Fusarium wilt responsible for the infections which is critical for the effective on-going management of the disease... "Two Fusarium species have consistently been isolated from affected plants - F. oxysporum and F. solani - and both species have been associated with the disease in mungbean and other bean or Vigna species outside of Australia...

Kernels contaminated with aflatoxin bring a reduced price and, in cases of very high levels, may be downgraded to oil quality... High soil temperatures and drought during flowering and podfill are the major causes of aflatoxin contamination... Leaving peanuts in the windrow to dry to 13% moisture increases the risk of aflatoxin because of the chance of rain re-wetting the crop...

In Australia aflatoxin is not a health risk because of the thorough testing done at various stages along the food chain and the effective technology and procedures employed by agribusinesses to eliminate contaminated product... Using Afloman as a tool to assess the degree of risk that applies on their farm, peanut growers can make timely decisions about the extent to which they implement the following strategies or practices... The results showed that this technology could offer growers a powerful technique to segregate high-risk peanuts during the harvesting operation and thereby increase profitability by minimising aflatoxin contamination on a field scale (Wright, Lamb & Medway, 2002)...

Overall, 60-70 per cent of flour is used in traditional flat breads, 20-25 per cent of flour is used in western style breads and 5-10 per cent is used in cakes and biscuits... In summary, canola varieties sown 2-3 weeks earlier than normal (early to mid April) can be grazed in winter prior to bud elongation (usually providing 600-800 dse grazing days/ha) and recover with no impact on yield or oil...
