These systems still remain the main seed sources for almost all small-scale holder farmers in both countries. The systems perform fairly well at supplying seeds to end-users, distributing seeds at relatively low cost, and maintaining acceptable levels of seed viability and health. A tabulated list of groundnut varieties released in Niger and Senegal is provided. The trends in commercialized production of groundnut seeds in Niger and Senegal are presented.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Groundnut</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2001</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
