Aflatoxins are carcinogenic poisons produced by some strains of the common fungus (Aspergillus flavus) that contaminate crops throughout the world. AF36 Prevail, created by the Arizona Cotton Council, has established itself as an effective tool in managing aflatoxins by using a native strain of the fungus that naturally does not produce aflatoxins.
AF36 competitively displaces other fungi that do produce aflatoxin, resulting in greatly reduced production of the harmful toxin.
It has been observed that AF36 treatments extend beyond the treated crop and may provide beneficial displacement in adjacent orchards
