    Abstract

    Diseases are major constraints to groundnut production in West Africa. Leaf spots, rust, rosette and seedling diseases are present throughout most of the region and cause substantial losses in yield. Crop growth variability is a major yield‐limiting factor in the Sahel. Aflatoxin contamination is a serious quality problem in the region. Strategies for management of these major diseases are briefly discussed with particular emphasis on the utilization of genetic resistance
