Abstract
SUMMARY Glasshouse and field trials have been used to assess the effect of applying calcitic lime and gypsum on haulm weight, pod-filling and kernel yield of groundnuts grown in soils of Northern Malawi. Incorporation of lime prior to planting and topdressing gypsum at flowering both rectified poor pod-filling and improved kernel yield. Gypsum decreased haulm weight and usually produced lower overall kernel yield than lime. The relative merits of lime and gypsum application are discussed, together with the need for supplementation by phosphorus and sulphur.
