Groundnut
 
Description Nigeria is the largest groundnut producing
country in West and Central Africa and the crop is grown
largely under small-holder system and rain-fed
conditions. Demand for improved groundnut varieties has
been increasing over the years making it imperative to
develop varieties suitable to different agro-ecological
zones of Nigeria. ICRSAT has been working with
national partners to develop improved groundnut
varieties. Results of the participatory varietal selection and paired-wise ranking exercises revealed that
resistance to pests and diseases, early maturity, pod yield, oil yield, haulm yield, pod and kernel features, and drought tolerance are the important groundnut traits to the farmers indicating a perfect alignment of farmers
preference with breeders concerns on the development of
improved groundnut varieties in Northern Nigeria.
