Abstract:
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars have different levels of resistance to soil- and air-borne diseases. However, fungicide applications over the season are essential to control these diseases. Certain fungicide chemistries can potentially suppress leaf photosynthesis, negatively impacting plant growth and productivity. Field trials were planted to determine the effect of multiple applications of different fungicides on suppression of the photosynthetic activity in peanut plants and further implication on pod maturity profile and yield.
