"This cropping guide is one in a series being produced for extension workers by the African Soil\r\nHealth Consortium (ASHC). The series also covers banana-coffee, cassava, maize-legumes,\r\nsorghum and millet-legumes, rice systems and sweetpotato, but this guide is focused on groundnut.\r\nRural extension workers will find this handbook particularly useful for guiding their clients as they\r\nshift from producing groundnut under traditional cropping systems for subsistence to more marketoriented\r\nenterprises through sustainable intensification.\r\nThe guide aims to provide, in a single publication, all the most important information needed to\r\ndesign and implement effective systems, including those that combine groundnut with a range of\r\nother crops, either as intercrops or in rotations, but with the primary focus on groundnut.\r\nAlthough ASHC’s work is focused on the needs of smallholder farmers in Africa, emerging and\r\nestablished commercial farmers will also find the contents relevant and useful.\r\nThe ASHC mission is to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers through adoption of\r\nIntegrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) approaches that optimise fertilizer use efficiency and\r\neffectiveness. The overarching framework for the guide is therefore provided by ISFM.\r\nThe overall objective of the handbook is to provide simple, useful tips on how farmers with small\r\nto medium-sized farms can benefit from more efficient and profitable groundnut production.\r\nCurrently yields in Africa average under 1 tonne per hectare and can be as low as 500 kg or less: in\r\ncomparison yields in Asia average over 2.2 tonnes per hectare and are close to 4 tonnes per hectare\r\nin the Americas.\r\nBy following the recommendations in this guide, smallholder farmers should be able to increase\r\nproduction from under 1 tonne per hectare to as much as 2.5-3 tonnes per hectare or more. By\r\nadopting optimal crop rotations, yield of crops such as cereals will also be increased and by\r\nadopting successful intercrop combinations and arrangements smallholder farmers will benefit from\r\nincreases in overall production and profitability"^^ .
