Several antioxidants namely ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, sodium benzoates, thiouria and catechol were used as seed treatment and foliar spraying to reduce the incidence of root and pod rot diseases of peanut caused by (Fusarium oxysporum , Fusarium solani and Fusarium moniliforme) as well as to determine of phenolic compounds and oxidative enzymes in the treated plants. Each antioxidant was used at different concentrations (2, 4, 6 and 8 mM) against tested pathogenic fungi in vitro . All antioxidants at 8 mM showed the greatest reduction of mycelial growth of the pathogens. In greenhouse experiments, treated seeds (Giza 5 cv.) or foliar spraying of peanut plants after 30 and 60 days from planting date with each antioxidant at 8 mM reduced severity of both diseases. The treated plants with antioxidants increased accumulation of phenolic compounds and activity levels of oxidative enzymes (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase) in infected plants compared to healthy plants. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:AF539C90-4B38-4BFE-B77B-5F2A5D764D7A
