is the only important bacterial disease of
groundnut. It is a rerlous problem in major
groundnut-producing are= of Indonesia (Schuarr
and Hanlcy 1927; Machmud, thele Proceeding,),
in southern China (Darong et at. 1981). and in
restricted areas of Africa (Simbwa-Bunnya 1972).
The di{\texttt{\char126}}iws a potential threat to groundnut prcb
duction in several other pans of the uorld, apccially
in warm humid areas. Effectlve control
measurn arc to use sui{\texttt{\char126}}able crpp rotations and to
grow wilt-resistant groundnut {\texttt{\char126}}ultivars (Schwarz
and Hartley 1930; Porter et al. 1982). Bmderl have
produced bacterial wilt-resistant groundnut
cultivars in several parts of the world (Schwarz and
Hartley 1926; Darong et al. 1981). Several
scrrcning/inoculation techniques hare been used to
identify sources of resistance (Darong el at. 1981;
Winstead and Kelman 1952), but the wide range of
variability in the pathogen populations complicata
wilt resistance breeding.}
