Abstract


An increased production of groundnut is possible by extensive and intensive cultivation practices. Extensive cultivation has limited scope in this State since all the available cultivable lands have already been brought under cultivation and the possibility of any more addition to the cultivated area is remote. Further, diversion from other crops to groundnut is also not desirable since at present all the major agricultural commodities are either self-sufficient or in short supply. So by such diversions to groundnut, the production of other agricultural commodities will be affected which will again create new problems. So, the only possibility of increasing production is by intensive cultivation and thereby increasing the acre yield.
