Title Screening Groundnuts for Seed Resistance to Aspergillus flavus: Statistical Approaches to Data Evaluation
 
Creator Singh, Murari
Mehan, V K
McDonald, D
 
Subject Groundnut
 
Description 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
