Description The performance of 3 drought-tolerant groundnut cultivars (ICGS 11, ICGS 76 and ICGV 86590) and TMV 2 as control was evaluated under rainfed conditions in on-farm participatory trials conducted in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, India, during the rainy season of 2002. The pod yields of the improved cultivars (1.8-2.4 t/ha) were higher by 40-85% than the pod yield of TMV 2 (1.3 t/ha). Among the improved cultivars, ICGS 76 had the highest pod yield (2.4 t/ha), harvest index (0.46), 100-seed weight (39.2 g) and number of developed pods per plant (18.8). This cultivar was the most preferred by farmers based on drought tolerance and high yield potential, followed by ICGS 11.
