Creator Pande, S
 
Subject Groundnut
 
Description As an important oil seed crop, groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) provide high quality oil and food for
humans and livestock respectively. In India, low yield of this crop has been linked to non-availability of
improved cultivars and proper production technologies, and to foliar diseases such as late leaf spot
(Phaeoisariopsis personata) and rust (Puccinia arachidicola) especially in areas such as the Deccan
plateau. The plateau is greatly affected by diseases, as it is covered with the susceptible cultivar
TMV-2. These diseases are highly destructive and cause more than 70% of the losses in yield and
quality. Considering the limitation in the production of groundnuts, ICRISAT has emerged with an
early maturing dual-purpose cultivar, ICGV 91114...........
