Proper practices to minimize Fusarium mycotoxin contamination. There are a series of management strategies that can be utilized to control Fusarium mycotoxins during the preharvest (sowing and growing) and postharvest stages (storing and processing). During the preharvest stage, these strategies place emphasis on preventing infection by Fusarium fungi. During the postharvest stage, management strategies are more focused on controlling the production of new mycotoxins and the detoxification and removal of existing mycotoxins.
