Plant diseases and insects are important constraints to cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) production. The three most economically important diseases of cultivated peanuts on a worldwide scale, two leaf spots (caused by Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum) and rust (Puccinia arachidis), are reported to attack some Arachis species. But there are no documented cases of diseases and insects of economic importance in wild Arachis species. Several species of Arachis have been reported to confer higher levels of resistance to a number of diseases and insects than the cultivated peanut. This report summarizes reported diseases and potential pests in wild Arachis species, and explains future research emphases.
