Influence of crop rotation and tillage on incidence of brown root rot of peanut caused by Fusarium solani in Argentina.

The article examines the influence of crop rotation and tillage on yield of peanut and occurrence of brown root rot caused by Fusarium solani in Argentina. A field experiment was conducted in the heavily infested area from 2001-2002 to 2005-2006 cropping seasons. Crop rotation included corn, peanut, and soybean. A stratified random sampling was used to evaluate the disease incidence. Results show that tillages and crop rotations can influence peanut brown rot caused by F. solani and crop yield.
