Discover the enthralling world of groundnut farming in Uganda

These techniques include:

Farmers’ Skill Development: Farmers acquire essential techniques through training. This training encompasses crop maturity, market exploration, and group support in representing individual farmers.
Joining the Farming Group: Information sharing on how to become a part of the farming group and enter into groundnut cultivation is provided.
Pest and Disease Management: Effective strategies for controlling pests and diseases on the farm are discussed, emphasizing environmentally friendly methods.
Community Sensitization: The community is educated and encouraged to participate in groundnut farming, with seedling distribution for new farming initiatives.
Weather Adversities Mitigation: Techniques for mitigating adverse weather conditions are taught, with a focus on irrigation methods.

Cultivating Various Groundnut Varieties

There are three main types of groundnuts in this category: Serenut 14R, Naronut 1R, Serenut 11T, Serenut 9T, and Serenut 8R. These varieties differ in characteristics and maturity rates. It is recommended to plant each variety a maximum of three times to maintain seed quality. Plant spacing should be approximately 50 cm between rows and 15 cm between individual plants, resulting in around 26,000 plants per acre.

To manage pests and diseases, environmentally friendly chemical sprays and biological methods can be used. Local value addition is possible through the production of ready-packaged groundnuts, making them easily accessible to consumers.
