Mycotoxins in Stored Agricultural Products: Implications to Food Safety and Health and Prospects of Plant-derived Pesticides as Novel Approach to their Management
TL;DR: The mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites from some species of Aspergillus, Fusarium Penicillium and their related fungi and their contamination results generally in inferior quality of produce and produce end-products, food safety and ultimately barriers trans-border marketability of agro-produce as discussed by the authors.

Biology and Management Strategies of Cowpea Anthracnose Disease Caused by Colletrotrichum Species
TL;DR: Though cultural strategies, tolerant and resisitant varieties against the disease and chemical interventions are used in managing the disease; resistance have been reported to be only temporary due to variability of Colletotrichum pathogens.

Effectiveness of Duration of Storage and Phytochemicals in the Management of Seed-Borne Mycoflora of Stored Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.)Walp) Seeds
TL;DR: The overall, the mean incidence of the seed-borne mycoflora of the treated cowpea seeds decreased as storage period increased while germination also decreased with increasing storage period, Hence, these plants extract powders especially Piper guineense could be used in IDM programmes, for seed-dressing ofcowpea for increased productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Plant-Base Fungicides to Control Aflatoxigenic Fungi Producing Mycotoxins in Stored Cowpea Seeds
TL;DR: The use of plant extracts for control of fungal pests is safe and less expensive than synthetic pesticides and constitute no health risk to humans and animals and will help reduce pollution from chemical sources and also contribute to a sustainable development of the ecosystem.
