Subject Groundnut
 
Description Since 1976, when groundnut became the fifth mandate crop of ICRISAT, research
focused on major constraints to groundnut production in the semi-arid tropics. These
are: diseases, insect pests, drought, poor nutrition, and lack of high yielding varieties
with specific adaptation and requirements. Within these major areas, specific research
goals have been identified. Genetic exploitation and improvement are considered to be
an Hltegral part of the many approaches that need to be merged into a single management
package.
