- Intervention effect Nodule count and pod number per plant of groundnut were significantly affected by the interaction of P fertilizer rates and rhizobium inoculant rates.
- Intervention effect Inoculant at 6 g per kg seed increased groundnut grain yield, to 2376.6 kg/ha.
- Association Nodule count, effective nodule count and pod number were major determinants of groundnut grain yield in correlation analysis.
- Association Pod weight was a major determinant of groundnut grain yield in correlation analysis.
- Intervention effect Gross benefits of groundnut were higher with P fertilizer and/or inoculant application.
- Intervention effect Compared with the control, all groundnut treatments gave attractive B/C ratios.
- Recommendation Cultivating groundnut with P fertilizer and/or inoculant may give the most economically viable and low-risk options for increasing yield in northern Ghana.
