The bio-control technology is made up of strains of the non-toxic fungus, which when introduced into the fields, outcompete and reduce the population of the toxic ones, therefore drastically reducing contamination.' Breaking this technology into its simplest understandable term, Kaptoge said that the fungus of Aflatoxicosis, which has had decades of existence in the world, is of two variants - the destructive fungus and the friendly ones.
