Abstract
The antighost equation valid for usual gauge theories in the Landau gauge, is generalized to the case of supersymmetric gauge theories in a supersymmetric version of the Landau gauge. This equation, which expresses the nonrenormalization of the Faddeev-Popov ghost field, plays an important role in the proof of the nonrenormalization theorems for the chiral anomalies.
