Abstract

Two hundred thirty-five cultivated varieties, breeding lines and plant introductions of Arachis hypogaea and 12 accessions of wild Arachis spp. were tested for resistance to Meloidogyne hapla. Eight of the cultivated peanut lines were only moderately susceptible and four of the wild peanuts exhibited resistance. No resistance-breaking M. hapla populations were found among 10 geographical isolates tested. Key Words: northern root-knot nematode, Arachis hypogaea, Arachis spp.
