SCSC 306: Peanut Diseases Photo: courtesy of OSU Coop. Ext. Service Root-knot nematodes can be effectively controlled with crop rotation; However, root-lesion nematodes are more Difficult to control. Crop rotation has not been effective in reducing levels of this species because it has a wide host range and can reproduce on most rotational crops .
SCSC 306: Peanut Diseases Leaf Spots Leaf spots, caused by Cercospora or Cercosporidium fungi, are the most common and serious diseases of peanut. Control is by field sanitation and fungicides. (see next slide) [Photos from OSU Cooperative Extension]

SCSC 306: Peanut Diseases Scerotinia Blight is probably the most serious disease of peanut in Texas Photos: OSU Extension
SCSC 306: Peanut Diseases OSU Coop. Ext. PSV is seed borne and aphid transmitted; Control is by avoiding seed not certified to be PSV free; no chemical nor host plant resistance (chemical control of aphid may help)
SCSC 306: Peanut Diseases Spread is vectored by thrips and thus control of thrips with insecticide may be mandated; not transmitted through seed. Photos: OSU Extension
