Does Ethiopia produce groundnuts?

The by-product from the oil extraction of groundnut (groundnut cake) serves as animal feedstuff ( Alemayehu Chala et al., 2014 ). The yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia compared to other countries is extremely low, i.e., below 1.49 t ha ?1 ( CSA, 2021 ), as compared to average yields on a global scale, i.e., 1.65 t ha ?1 ( FAO, 2021 ).

How do crop management practices affect the productivity of groundnuts?

Improved crop management practices including proper fertilizer management, determine the productivity of groundnuts. Macronutrients such as N, P, K, Ca and S and other micronutrients have vital effects on the yield of groundnuts ( Subrahmaniyan et al., 2000; Murashkina et al., 2006; Kabir et al., 2013 ).

How to grow groundnuts in acidic soil?

Optimal soil pH (6.0¨C6.3) is required for groundnut to yield its potential. The acidic soil (pH < 5) can be amended by liming (calcium carbonate application). Sarker et al. (2014) reported that the combined application of lime and phosphorus improved the growth and nutrient uptake of plants grown in lower pH (acidic) soils.

Does phosphorus increase groundnut pod yield?

According to Singh and Simpson (1994), Kulkarni et al. (1986), and Kalita et al. (2015), the application of phosphorus increased groundnut pod yield.
