Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum spores, isolated from commercial peanut fields in Alabama and cultured on fungicide-containing media, were found to tolerate levels of benomyl and related fungicides at rates 10 times higher than those previously recorded. No tolerance was found in a field that had not previously been treated with benomyl or related fungicides.
