%X About 7000 lines were screened for resistance to the leaf-spot fungi Cercospora arachidicola [Mycosphaerella arachidis] and Cercosporidium personatum [M. berkeleyi] and to Puccinia arachidis at ICRISAT, India. Preliminary field screening was done during natural epiphytotics in 1977 and 1978 and promising lines were then inoculated in the greenhouse. Five varieties had good resistance to P. arachidis and measurable resistance to one or other of the leaf spots.
