What is it > Overview
 












With all you invest to raise a good corn crop, do you really want to risk getting a 50,000-pound load docked or rejected at the elevator because of aflatoxin? Now there’s a way to significantly reduce aflatoxin levels in corn and increase your confidence when going to the elevator. Introducing Afla-Guard®.

Significantly Reduce Aflatoxin Levels

Aspergillus flavus, the fungus that produces aflatoxin, thrives in the hot, dry conditions common to corn-producing areas in the South. It’s carried to corn ears by wind and insects, where it infects kernels and produces aflatoxin, contaminating the crop in a matter of just a few days. However, multi-year trial data has shown significant reduction in alfatoxin levels when Afla-Guard is applied to both irrigated and non-irrigated corn.

Take the Toxin out of Aflatoxin—with Afla-Guard.
