It covers a range of pests including termites, aphids, birds, mice, and monkeys, outlining their specific behaviors and the resulting harm to groundnut crops and stored produce. For instance, termites damage stems and pods, while aphids transmit viruses causing rosette disease and suck plant juice. Birds and monkeys are noted for digging up planted seeds and mature nuts, and mice consume nuts in both the garden and storage. The document also touches upon the control of specific diseases like rosette and leaf spot, with rosette disease being a viral infection spread by aphids, leading to stunted growth and restricted pod formation. Leaf spot, caused by fungi, manifests in two forms: early and late leaf spot, characterized by distinct reddish-brown or dark spots on the leaves. Control measures for these diseases include early planting, using resistant varieties, practicing crop rotation, proper plant spacing, uprooting and burning infected plants, and spraying with appropriate fungicides or chemicals. The image section within the document, while not directly referenced in the text for control measures, visually depicts common pests such as termites and aphids. The overall aim is to equip farmers with the knowledge to manage these agricultural challenges effectively.","Agriculture for Standard Six-Unit 16  \nPESTS AND DISEASES IN GROUNDNUTS AND CASSAVA  \nEnglish Agriculture  \nAgriculture for Standard Six-Unit 16  \nPESTS AND DISEASES IN GROUNDNUTS AND CASSAVA  \nEnglish  \nZomba, Southern , Malawi  \nCopyright © 2025, Knowledge & Information for Successful Society  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
