"Assessment of yield losses in groundnut (Arachis\r\nhypogaea L.) due to arthropod pests and diseases\r\nin the Sudan savanna of Ghana"^^ . "The present study was undertaken to assess the relative abundance and extent of damage caused by the\r\nvarious pests and diseases attacking groundnut in the Sudan savanna zone of the country during the 2015\r\nand 2016 cropping seasons. Selective applications of fungicides and insecticides were deployed in field\r\nexperiments to assess the damage caused by the key members of the groundnut pest/disease complex\r\nnamely the soil pests, foliar insects, and foliar diseases. Results showed that most treatments significantly\r\nreduced the incidence of the targeted pests and diseases, resulting in lower crop damage and higher\r\nyields. Providing full protection to the crop (T6) gave the highest mean kernel yield (mean 930 kg/ha)\r\nfollowed by control of soil pests (T1) and leaf spots (T4) which recorded yields 677 and 640 kg/ha\r\nrespectively. Totally neglecting pest and disease control (T7) resulted in 57.3% yield reduction, while\r\ncontrolling soil pests (T1), foliar diseases (T4) and foliar insects (T5) reduced yield losses to 27%, 32%\r\nand 37% respectively suggesting that these are key pests that need to be controlled to guarantee profitable\r\nand sustainable groundnut production in the study area."^^ .
