Designing effective groundnut breeding strategies through farmer-breeder interactions in northern Nigeria
This study presents the results of a groundnut participatory varietal selection exercise in northern Nigeria, which revealed that resistance to pests and diseases, early maturity, pod yield, oil yield, haulm yield, pod and kernel features, and drought tolerance are the most important groundnut traits for farmers.
Pre-empting aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in northern Nigeria: a case study of the groundnut value chain
This study presents preliminary results of pre-emptive measures being undertaken by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics and national partners on the management of aflatoxin contamination in the groundnut value chains of selected states in northern Nigeria.
Understanding and managing aflatoxin in the groundnut value chain in Nigeria
This manual provides general and specific information on aflatoxin contamination and its management at all stages of the groundnut value chain in Nigeria.
