Abstract
SMARTT, in a recent communication1, mentions the very satisfactory performance of the groundnut variety, Mani pintar, in trials in Northern Rhodesia. In a series of trials on agricultural stations and on local farms in the Northern Region, Ghana, in 1960 the variety was outstanding, giving a mean yield 35 per cent higher than the local varieties, 24 per cent higher than previously released improved varieties and out-yielding all other recent introductions.
