Description ICGV-SM 83708 (Reg. no. GP-68, P1 585000), an improved
peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea Krap & Rig. var.
hypogaea Greg.) germplasm, was developed at the Asia Center of
the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid
Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, India. It was introduced into the
SADC (Southern African Development Community)/ICRISAT
Groundnut Project, Malawi, in 1982 as an advanced breeding line.
After initial evaluation in the 1982-1983 crop season in Malawi,
it was included in the SADC regional groundnut varietal trial in
1983-1984 as ICGMS 42. Subsequently, it was redesignated
ICGV-SM 83708. After extensive evaluation in regional, national,
and on-farm trials, it was released in 1990 as 'CG 7' in Malawi,
and in 1991 as 'MGV 4' in Zambia. It is particularly well adapted
to the central plateau of Lilongwe and Kasungu, low-lying areas of
Salima and Chitipa, and the Karonga plains in Malawi, and to the
Eastern Province areas of Zambia. It is suitable for red skin and
confectionery trades because of its red testa color, uniform seed
size, and ease in blanching.
