Detailed statistics of farming practice are difficult to obtain, but it has been estimated that 95\% of the groundnuts in Nigeria and 56\% in Uganda are grown as mixtures with other crops (Okigbo and Greenland 1976). In the Northern Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria, Kassam (1976) reported that only about 16\% of the total area under groundnut was in sole croppingwhile about 70\% was in 2-4 crop mixtures.} }
