Abstract

CG 7, also known as ICGMS 42 or ICGV-SM 83708, is a high yielding virginia bunch variety released in 1990. Recommended for cultivation in all groundnut-growing areas of Malawi, it is suitable for confectionery use and oil extraction. It is more tolerant of drought and much easier to harvest than Chalimbana, currently the most widely grown variety in Malawi. Potential seed yields of CG 7 can reach 2 t/ha.
