| Description |
Thirty on-farm trials were conducted during the rainy seasons of 2002 and 2003 in the drought-prone districts of Andhra Pradesh, India, to demonstrate the beneficial effects of improved groundnut production technologies. Improved production technologies gave higher yields at all the locations. The pod yield was 1.22 t/ha in 2002 and 1.64 t/ha in 2003 compared to 0.77 t/ha and 1.02 t/ha, respectively, with farmers' practice. The additional mean cost incurred in the improved package was US$25 (1 US$=Rs 45) compared to an increased mean income of US$158 with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.6.
