Promoting the diffusion of integrated peanut production practices, with emphasis on the biological control of fungi to reduce product contamination by aflatoxin in Mali, is the goal of this project. The action has made the knowledge exchange between Brazilian and African researchers possible. Mali is the second largest peanut producing country of the African continent. However, the product's high contamination rates in the country affect the crops and cause health risk for consumers. As an alter
