Seed germination was poor particularly for A. arasterio where only 1 seed per row germinated and survived to harvest. These preliminary observations indicated that Hilda infested all test genotypes. In an off-season crop planted in June 2000, seed germination was >95% and there was no termite or rosette incidence. Hilda infestation was noted on all plants at the late podding stage. All (100%) of A. arasterio plants were green and healthy at the time of the assessment as were the other wild species (86-95%). 2002 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/1756/1/IAN_22_49-51_2002.pdf Minja, E M and Merwe, P J A Van der and Ferguson, M E and Mviha, P J (2002) Screening wild Arachis for resistance to groundnut plant hopper Hilda patruelis in Malawi.
