    Abstract

    This paper examines the nodulation and nitrogen furation of groundnut when grown in pure culture or in associatbn with pearl millet, maize or sorghum. In all cases, association of groundnut with a cereal resulted in reduced nodulation and nitrogen fixation. This was ascribed to shading of the groundnut, leading to reduced photosynthesis. When grain milkt was planted in rotation wish groundnut or maize supplied 21) kg N/ha, yield following .groundnut were 524 kg/ha greater than obtained in the millet] maize rotation.
