Abstract

Environmental factors influence the degree ofgroundnut seed infection by Aspergillus flavus and other fungi. This complicates resistance screening over seasons and locations as levels ofinfection can vary considerably within a genotype. Statistical methods were used to separategenotypes into different resistance/susceptibility categories and to ensure a stable basis for comparisons of control cultivar and test genotypes across environments. An approach was also adopted for comparing the degree and distribution ofresistance in spanish and valencia typegroundnuts. The establishment of such procedures would facilitate interpretation ofscreening data from diliCerent environments
