The use of non – toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus and A.parasiticus in biological control effectively reduces aflatosin in peanuts when conidium – producing inoculum is applied to the soil surface. The movement of conidia of these fungi in soil was examined following natural rainfall and controlled precipitation from a sprinkler irrigation system. Conidia remained near the soil surface despite repeated rainfall and varying amounts of applied water from irrigation. In addition, rainfall washed the conidia along the peanut furrows for up to 100 m downstream from the experimental plot boundary.
