Project code: MRI-GE-08-2021-44
Contract period: 01.06.2021 - 28.02.2023
Purpose of research: Applied research

Predictions modeling ongoing climate change indicate the possibility of aflatoxin-producing microorganisms spreading to northern Europe and Germany as very likely. Grain samples from the harvest are screened for the aflatoxin-producing microorganisms Aspergillus flavus and parasiticus. If the fungi are detected, the aflatoxin contents of the corresponding grain samples (wheat, rye) are determined.
