In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus flavus, Aflatoxin, Agronomy and Preharvest. His Aspergillus parasiticus study improves the overall literature in Mycotoxin. His studies deal with areas such as Biological pest control and Animal science as well as Mycotoxin.
