Abstract
There had been no practical methods for prevention of crops from aflatoxin contamination due to lack of effective antifungal agents for aflatoxigenic fungi in fields. However, a novel biocontrol method using non-aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus has recently become practically useful for aflatoxin contamination. In this article, usefulness and problems of new biocontrol methods for aflatoxin control are reviewed.
