Among foliar diseases of  groundnut early leaf spot and rust are wide spread and considered economically important in Nepal. A nursery comprised of fortynine  groundnut  genotypes  was conducted under natural field condition at Nawalpur to evaluate against early leaf spot, late leaf spot, rust and bud necrosis diseases. Among tested genotypes none was found resistant to early leaf spot. However, the genotypes ICG-10450, ICG-1710, ICG-MS-42 and ICGV-91247 were found moderately resistant (3.0.score) to early leaf spot. All the testted   genetypes showed very low level of disease reaction (0 to 2.7 score) to late leaf spot, rust  and bud necrosis(BND).
