Peanuts 



Ala. Cause and Control of Collar Rot on Peanuts . To (l) 



determine cause or causes of collar rot of peanuts; and 

 (2) develop control measures. 

 Bot.p PI. Path. 546 



Ga. Control of Southern Blight (Sclerotium Rolfsii) on 



Peanuts . To develop (l) well integrated practicable sch erne s 

 of culture that apply the fimdamental requirements for control 

 of southern blight on peanuts and other crops; and (2) imple- 

 ments which will obtain these cultural requirements in widely 

 different types of soil. 



PI. Path., Ag. Eng., Hort., Agron. 102, Coop. USDA 



Ga. Peanut Breeding and Improvement . Develop hi^ yielding, 



disease resistant varieties of peanuts; conduct basic studies 

 in inheritance of characters of economic importance, involving 

 genetic studies of peanut and related species, inter- and intra- 

 specific hybridization and cytogenetic investigations of 

 breeding materials; evolve improved production practices in 

 collaboration with specialists in various phases of peanut 

 production research. 



Agron., PI. Path. 204 



N. C. Peanut Breeding and Cultural Investigations . To develop 

 strains of peanuts with greater yielding ability, high oil 

 content, and superior disease resistance; and to learn the 

 relative response of different types or varieties, as measured 

 by both yield and quality, on different soil types and to 

 various cultural practices. 



Field Crops H-50, Coop. USDA-AEC 



N. C. Etiology. Epiphytology and Control of Soil-Borne Diseaseb 

 of Peanut . To (l) obtain basic information on influence of 

 environmental factors, cropping and cultural practices, soil 

 microflora, and varietal 'susceptibility upon severity of soil- 

 borne diseases of peanut caused by various bacteria, fungi, 

 and nematodes; and (2) use such basic information in developing 

 effective, practical control measures.
