Peanut Plant Diseases (Arachis hypogaea L.)

This book is designed to assist agricultural scientists and agricultural extension workers in diagnosing common field diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, nematodes and parasitic flowering plants. Field symptoms for each disease are described and explained. It is important to understand that the diagnosis of the disease is based on the pattern that occurs and microscopic symptoms are very many cases even if only temporary, and to distinguish diseases with field symptoms that are close to similar, microscopic testing of diseased tissue and body structure of pathogens is needed.
