- Intervention effect Groundnut productivity can be increased in current and future climates by adjusting the duration of life-cycle phases, especially seed-filling to physiological maturity.
- Intervention effect Higher maximum leaf photosynthesis rate, higher partitioning to reproductive organs and longer seed-fill duration all increased groundnut pod yield in all climates.
- Intervention effect A more determinate pod set (shorter PODUR) increased groundnut pod yield only in water deficit environments.
- Intervention effect Increasing specific leaf area and leaf size increased groundnut pod yield, more so in environments favourable for plant growth.
- Intervention effect Increasing reproductive tolerance to high temperature by 2 °C increased groundnut pod yield in warmer environments, especially where drought occurs.
- Intervention effect Increased adaptive partitioning to roots increased groundnut drought resistance on high water-holding capacity soils.
- Recommendation The CROPGRO model can be used to assess plant trait potential for guiding breeding of improved groundnut varieties.
