Genotype-by-environment interactions for grain yield of Valencia groundnut genotypes in East and Southern Africa
The objectives of this study were to evaluate Valencia groundnut genotypes for yield stability and classify environments to devise appropriate breeding strategies. Seventeen multi-location trials were conducted in six countries, viz., Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia, from 2013 to 2016.
Genetics, genomics and breeding of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Bridging the gap: Decomposing sources of gender yield gaps in Uganda groundnut production
A study investigating the underlying causes of a gender yield gap in groundnut production, based on survey data from 228 farm households from two groundnut growing regions in Uganda.
Patterns and drivers of the adoption of improved groundnut technologies in North-western Nigeria
This article presents the results of interviews with farm families to assess the extent to which improved groundnut varieties are being adopted in northwestern Nigeria.
Modeling groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) performance under drought conditions
Erratic rainfall is often a limiting factor in the semi-arid regions where most groundnut cultivation occurs. Ensuring availability of cultivars that possess inherent tolerance to drought stress has become a priority. Field and box experiments were conducted under drought and non-drought conditions to identify physiological and agronomic traits correlated with pod yield.
