Description Groundnut Rosette Disease (GRD)
is the major challenge to groundnut
production in Malawi. Many old varieties are
susceptible to GRD, with a complete yield
loss under severe disease. Yet groundnut
is a major source of income and food.
Government’s Department of Agricultural
Research Services, in partnership with
ICRISAT, have in the recent past released
seven new varieties (CG 8, CG 9, CG 10, CG
11, CG 12, CG 13 and CG 14), to improve
groundnut productivity.
Irish Aid funded Malawi Seed Industry
Development Project (MSIDP), has been
bulking seed of these new varieties for
grain production. Starting in the 2019-2020
cropping season, seed companies will begin
rolling out CG 9 and CG 11 to farmers.
