This study developed predictive models for deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in spring oats in Sweden using machine learning. Three models were created for farmers, crop collectors, and food safety inspectors. Data included weather, agronomical, site-specific factors, and previous year's DON levels. Random Forest models achieved >0.72 accuracy, with June predictions showing promise. Rainfall, humidity, wind speed, crop variety, and elevation were key predictive features.
