Genetics of Stay-Green Trait and Its Association with Leaf Spot Tolerance and Pod Yield in Groundnut
This study was designed to determine the genetic control of the stay-green trait and its relationship with leaf spot disease severity in groundnut. Results showed significant (p < 0.001) differences among the genotypes for early leaf spot (ELS), late leaf spot (LLS), leaf area under greenness (LAUG), SPAD chlorophyll meter readings (SCMR), and yield traits.
Profitability and profit efficiency of certified groundnut seed and conventional groundnut production in Northern Ghana: A comparative analysis
This study seeks to compare profitability and profit efficiency of certified groundnut seed (CGS) and conventional groundnut (CG) production in Northern Ghana using cross-sectional data.
Adoption of varietal and accompanying groundnut technologies in Sokoto and Kebbi States of Northwestern Nigeria
This paper summarises the outcomes of an adoption survey of new groundnut varieties in north western Nigeria.
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market‐demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes (TL) with a total investment of about US$ 67 million funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Monitoring changes in the cultivation of pigeonpea and groundnut in Malawi using time series satellite imagery for sustainable food systems
To assess the expansion of areas used in the production of pigeonpea and groundnut resulting from the release of new varieties in Malawi, this article discusses how the spatial distribution of cropland areas was mapped using MODIS NDVI 16-day time-series products (MOD13Q1) at a spatial resolution of 250 m for the years 2010–2011 and 2016–2017.
Assessment of genetic variability among groundnut accessions under natural rosette disease infestation in Malawi
Groundnut production in East and South Africa is low due to several constraints. Success in the development of resilient varieties rides on genetic diversity in available germplasm for key traits in question. This study was undertaken to dissect the magnitude of variability among groundnut accessions.
