description: Groundnut Rosette Disease (GRD)  is the major challenge to groundnut  production in Malawi. Many old varieties are  susceptible to GRD, with a complete yield  loss under severe disease. Yet groundnut  is a major source of income and food.  Government’s Department of Agricultural  Research Services, in partnership with  ICRISAT, have in the recent past released  seven new varieties (CG 8, CG 9, CG 10, CG  11, CG 12, CG 13 and CG 14), to improve  groundnut productivity.  Irish Aid funded Malawi Seed Industry  Development Project (MSIDP), has been  bulking seed of these new varieties for  grain production. Starting in the 2019-2020  cropping season, seed companies will begin  rolling out CG 9 and CG 11 to farmers.
