Description The major objective of this Third Consultative Group Meeting is to bring together representatives of various research groups involved in research on groundnut rosette virus (GRV) disease to review their research findings and to coordinate plans for future research and cooperation. It is indeed pleasing that so many of you have been able to attend this meeting. I am sure the research reports will be of great interest and that we shall be able to make effective plans for further cooperation in research to combat this important virus disease. Another objective is to consider the possible usefulness of producing an ICRISAT Information Bulletin on GRV. If such a publication is considered desirable in the near future, we may have to solicit your assistance in its preparation. An additional objective, and one that influenced the choice of venue, is to give those of you from outside Africa the opportunity to see GRV disease in the field, and in particular to examine research currently in progress at ICRISAT's Regional Groundnut Improvement Program for Southern Africa. This program is located at the Chitedze Agricultural Research Station of the Malawi Ministry of Agriculture. You will also be shown some of the field trials conducted by research staff of the Malawi Ministry of Agriculture, and will be able to visit farmers' fields in Lilongwe district. The meeting should provide us with ample opportunity for informal as well as formal discussions. I am sure that the objectives will be met, that valuable information will be presented, and important proposals formulated for continuing cooperative research.
