Screening Groundnuts for Seed Resistance to Aspergillus flavus: Statistical Approaches to Data Evaluation
Year: 1989
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Environmental factors influence the degree ofgroundnut seed infection by Aspergillus flavus and \nother fungi. This complicates resistance screening over seasons and locations as levels ofinfection \ncan vary considerably within a genotype. Statistical methods were used to separategenotypes into \ndifferent resistance/susceptibility categories and to ensure a stable basis for comparisons of \ncontrol cultivar and test genotypes across environments. An approach was also adopted for \ncomparing the degree and distribution ofresistance in spanish and valencia typegroundnuts. The \nestablishment of such procedures would facilitate interpretation ofscreening data from diliCerent \nenvironments
