Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate early generation selection methods for the identification of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crosses with combined high yield and disease re- sistance. Eleven crosses were chosen in the S,on the basis of yield and disease reaction. The S, was evaluated under natural disease infection for pod yield and leafspot resistance, causal organisms Cercospora arachidicola Hori and Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. and Curt.) Deighton. Resistance was mea- sured by leaf necrotic area and defoliation.
