FIGURE 4-4Percentage of acreage, by survey crop and for all crops combined, using a tillage practice for four consecutive years

NOTES: Continuous tillage is continuous full-width tillage for 4 years. Survey fields grew wheat in 2017, soybeans in 2012, cotton in 2015, or corn in 2016 but could have been planted in other crops during any of the 3 years preceding the survey year.

FIGURE 5-1Influence of soil health on aflatoxin accumulation in crops

NOTES: Soil health, including both soil nutrients (NPK: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and soil organic carbon (SOC), is a key driver of mycotoxin accumulation in crops. Soil organic matter influences the water-holding capacity of soil, and thus mediates the effect of drought on plant health and on the risk of aflatoxin accumulation. When water, SOC, and nutrients are sufficient, plants are less susceptible to mycotoxin colonization (a). Water and heat stress increase susceptibility to mycotoxin accumulation (b).

FIGURE 4-3Percent of mulch till and no-till planted acreage for four crops

NOTES: In no-till production, farmers plant directly into remaining crop residue without tilling. Mulch tilling involves using instruments such as a chisel or a disk with low soil disturbance. Conservation tillage is the sum of no-till and mulch till acreage. Data reflects the year in which each crop was included in the survey.
