Strengths
- Data is focused on a specific agricultural hazard (aflatoxin) and pathogen (Aspergillus).
- Explicitly covers key peanut-growing regions, providing geographic relevance.
- Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
