Summary Ten peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes were evaluated fro components of partial resistance to Cercospora arachidicola Hori in the field and in two detached leaf tests in the greenhouse. The relationships among the resistance components in the two environments were examined by computing rank correlations among the components measured in the greenhouse and among those measured in the field. A comparison of field and greenhouse testing for partial resistance was made by determining the correlations between components measured in the two testing methods. The genotypes were significantly different for all the components of resistant measured in the field and for most of the components measured in the greenhouse. In the field study necrotic area/10 cm2 leaf area was moderately correlated (r=0.58) with lesion number/10 cm2 leaf area and highly correlated (r=0.71−0.76) with total lesion number, predicted number of days after planting (X) to reach a standard lesion count, and defoliation. In the greenhouse only the correlation between necrotic area (mm2)/10 cm2 leaf area and sporulation/leaf was highly significant (r=0.71−0.83) in both greenhouse tests. Necrotic area (mm2)/10 cm2 leaf area measured in the field was significantly correlated with that measured in the greenhouse (r=0.66). Sporulation/leaf measured in the greennhouse was significantly correlated (r=0.66) with lesion increase in the field (measured as predicted X). It should thus be possible to evaluate and select for components of partial resistance in the greenhouse to develop resistant lines for the field.
