abstract: One of the possibilities for increasing the yield
of groundnut , particularly in the Semi -Arid
Tropics, is breeding varieties wi th resistance to
pests and diseases. Some progress has been
made in this field, but the improvements that
can be made by breeders are limited by the
availability of genes wi thin A. hypogaea. Collect
ions of wild species from South America have
made available a wider range of genes, especially
genes for disease resistance. The richness
of Arachis germplasm collection offers a great
opportunity for anyone interested in the improvement
of this crop (Bunting et al. 1974, Simpson 1976; Smartt et a I. 1978a, b; Gregory
and Gregory 1979).
