Evaluation of Groundnut Genotypes for Resistance to Early Leaf Spot Disease and Preharvest Aflatoxin Contamination
Evaluation of Groundnut Genotypes for Resistance to Early Leaf Spot Disease and Preharvest Aflatoxin Contamination
Aflatoxin caused by Aspergillus flavus is a major field-to-storage contaminant in groundnut seed production, whereas defoliation diseases in groundnuts caused by Passalora arachidicola and Nothopassalora personata are two of the most yield-limiting biotic stresses. The present study was to identify groundnut genotypes with resistance to leaf spot disease and preharvest aflatoxin contamination.
