A review providing highlights of the achievements made by IITA’s breeding program and insights into what needs to be done to enhance yield improvement for soybean in Africa using demand‐driven breeding approaches.
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.
Performance of Groundnut Genotypes under Millet Based Intercropping Systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
The productivity of two spatial arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during the 2014 rainy at three locations.
Response of Groundnut to Plant Density and Phosphorous Application in the Sudan Savanna Zone of Nigeria
The research findings presented in this article suggest that cultivating improved groundnut varieties at a high plant density with the application of phosphorus application can ensure that groundnut production becomes a profitable venture in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria.
