A field experiment conducted at Regional Research Station, Raichur to identify the genotypes resistant to peanut bud necrasis disease (PBND) of groundnut for a period of three years, 1996 - 97 to 1998-99 where in 172 germplasm/ cultivars were screened by using KRG-1 as check and resulted in the identification of seven highly resistant genotypes viz., DRG-18, ICG-78i2, lCG(FDRS)-1O, ICGV-80325,JSSP-3,KGN-22,PI-393516 and thirty-three resistant genotypes.
