Abstract
Over the 10-year period from 1976 to 1986, groundnut production in Asia increased by about 6 million t, reflecting an average annual growth rate of 5%. Nearly half of this increase came from expansion of the area cultivated. Demand for groundnut in Asia is expected to increase at a compound rate of about 4% annually, and as the prospects for increasing the cultivated area are limited, it will be necessary to increase yield per unit area. Fortunately, there is considerable scope for increasing farmers' yields, as the present average yield of just over 1 t ha-1 dried pods is well below the potential 6 to 8 t ha-1 that can be achieved on research farms when yield constraints are removed...........
