    Abstract

    Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a major oilseed crop in India, accounting for 34.5 percent of total oilseeds area (24.5 m ha) and 41.3 percent of total oilseeds production duction (20.3 m t) in the country. Since the late 1980s there has been a gradual increase in area (12 percent), production (9 percent), and productivity (6 percent) of the main rainy-season groundnut crop. The average pod yield has increased from 794 kg ha in 1980 to 988 kg ha in 1994, again…………………………….
