    Abstract

    In order to avoid problems encountered in field trials for resistance to rust (Puccinia arachidis and late leaf spot (Phaeoisariopsis personata) [Mycosphaerella berkeleyi]) caused by damage from one disease when the other is being evaluated, each genotype was tested for reaction to each disease in separate trials. The use of Bavistin [carbendazim] to prevent the establishment of leaf spot in the rust resistance trial and Calixin [tridemorph] in the leaf spot trial to prevent establishment of rust enabled these trials to be effective.
