Description With a few exceptions, groundnut productivity in most developing countries
continues to be low. Although many high-yielding varieties have been released, their
full potential is not realized in the absence of appropriate crop management
practices. General agronomic recommendations are broad based and do not help
much because of large variation in soil characteristics and nutrient status and other
agroecological factors across groundnut fields. This bulletin discusses the underlying
principles of various aspects of crop cultivation to encourage farmers to develop their
own package of cultivation practices suitable to their fields and needs. It also
provides information on groundnut cultivation under polythene mulch, which has
resulted in 20–50% increase in groundnut productivity in China and on a seed
production method to build self-reliance in the seed of improved groundnut
varieties.
