At BIOMIN, we are often asked whether it’s better to focus on counteracting a single mycotoxin, or adopting a broad spectrum approach to mycotoxin risk management. Here are five reasons why broader protection is generally better.
1. Your mycotoxin challenge changes over time
Different strains of mycotoxigenic fungi attack plants and crops at different stages. Some strains like Fusarium mainly attack plants on the field, others like Aspergillus predominantly attack crops during storage when the conditions are favorable for their growth. So one single crop can be contaminated by different mycotoxins, produced by different fungi, at different stages. That’s why…
