Assessing the effect of the farmers’ practices on the severity of groundnut rosette virus disease in Uganda
This study assessed the effect of farmers’ practices on the severity patterns of groundnut rosette virus disease (GRVD) in Uganda. A survey was conducted within five agro-ecological zones in Uganda to obtain information on the various practices that farmers use in the management of groundnut and GRVD in their fields.

Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
By demonstrating that SSR-based markers are discriminatory in discerning variations between and among groundnut lines even where the level of variation was low, this study suggests that microsatellite-based markers represent a useful tool for dissecting genetic variations in cultivated crops, especially groundnut.
