Biotic and abiotic stresses are major constraints in the production of groundnut. Among biotic stresses apart from bacterial and viral diseases, many fungal diseases are of economic importance. The major fungal diseases are Early leaf spot (Cercospora arachidicola), Late leaf spot (Cercosporidium personatum), Rust (Puccinia arachidis), Botrytis blight (Botrytis cinera), Aflarot/Yellow mould (Aspergillus flavus), Damping off (Pythium spp.), Stem and pod rot (Ralstonia solani), collar rot (Aspergillus niger), Charcoal rot (Macrophom inaphaseolina), Anthracnose (Colletotrichum arachidis), Wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), Root rot (Fusarium solani), Stem rot (Sclerotium rolfsii), Damping off (Pythium spp.) and Leaf blight (Alternaria alternata). | In vitro evaluation of various bioagents against detected seed mycoflora of groundnut
