However, the management practices followed for all the winter and summer crops were the same in both the fallow-based system and the groundnut-based system.
Intercropping was more widely practiced for groundnut (59% of groundnut fields) than for cowpea (28% of cowpea fields).
The more fertile land suitable for groundnut production tends to be some distance from habitation.
In 1965-6 these were jointly providing an estimated 70 % of farm cash incomes, cotton and export-destined groundnuts the remainder.
Consequently, residue removal of forage groundnut for agricultural practices such as hay production would only be viable if limiting soil nutrients are replaced by fertilization.
It should not be surprising that groundnut hay became a tradable commodity, highly valued for fattening.
For shelling percentage, 200 g of groundnut pods, and 10 maize ears, randomly sampled, were shelled per treatment plot.
Acreages assigned to groundnuts and rice are on the increase because of their profitability.
