Abstract
ROSETTE disease of groundnuts annually causes great losses in many parts of Africa, and the degree of loss varies considerably. The disease is present in the three areas farmed by the Overseas Food Corporation in Tanganyika. At Kongwa in the Central Province losses are negligible, at Nachingwea in the Southern Province serious, while at Urambo in the Western Province they have been so great that groundnuts are no longer grown.
