Abstract


Peanut is an important oilseed crop grown in India. Rust (Puccinia arachidis) and late leaf spot (Phaeisariopsis personata) are the major important foliar fungal diseases. Late leaf spot occurs regularly along with rust throughout Semi Arid Tropics and results in yield loss up to 70 per cent . There is a need to identify the alternate strategies to manage these diseases, so as to obtain higher economic return from groundnut. Therefore the present study was conducted to find out the disease resistant donors for evolving disease resistant varieties.
