Yield reduction in groundnut genotypes has been attributed to many factors including Cercospora leaf spots disease. Knowing the groundnut varieties that are tolerant to this disease and at the same time having higher yield potentials would help farmers and breeders to make the right choice of a variety for cultivation or for further improvement. Therefore, this study was conducted during September-December, 2013 growing season to evaluate the yields and yield components of 20 groundnut varieties in a field designated as a ‘hot spot’ for Cercospora leaf spots disease in Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Crop Research Institute (CSIR-CRI), Fumesua-Kumasi, Ghana.
