Description of Experiment
Peanut (Arachis hypogea) is a major food and manufacturing crop around the world. Leaf spot diseases such as early leaf spot (Cercospora arachidicola) and late leaf spot (Cercosporidium personatum) and rust (Puccinia arachidis) can cause significant defoliation, which can result in significant yield losses. This study will evaluate selected fungicides for control of three foliar diseases common in peanut.
