Biopesticides: An Eco-Friendly Approach for the Control of Soilborne Pathogens in Peanut

The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a widespread oilseed crop of great agricultural significance. Argentina is one of the major peanut producers in the world, and about 90 % of its production takes place in the province of Cordoba. During the last 20 years, peanut production has not only been increasing in yield but also in the quality of the harvested product because consumers tend to require high-quality products. Therefore, research and dissemination of technologies constitute essential elements for growing peanuts.
