Title Screening wild Arachis for resistance to groundnut plant hopper Hilda patruelis in Malawi

Subject Groundnut
 
Description Plants of Arachis villosulicarpa, A. erecta, A. arasterio, A. monticola and two unidentified Arachis species were grown in single rows with 7 A. hypogaea cultivars as checks during 1999. Seed germination was poor particularly for A. arasterio where only 1 seed per row germinated and survived to harvest. These preliminary observations indicated that Hilda infested all test genotypes. In an off-season crop planted in June 2000, seed germination was >95% and there was no termite or rosette incidence. Hilda infestation was noted on all plants at the late podding stage. All (100%) of A. arasterio plants were green and healthy at the time of the assessment as were the other wild species (86-95%).
