“…Insufficient extension agents ranked second with 79.17%, low groundnut prices is third with 75%, inadequate farm machineries fourth with 72.50%, lack of storage facilities fifth with 70.83% while inadequate credit facilities, inaccessibility to farm inputs, land tenure and shortage of labour occupied the Sixth, Seventh, Eight and ninth positions with 69.17%, 66.67%, 43.33% and 23.33% respectively. This finding is in conformity with the works of [27], [28] and [29] as well as that of [30] and [31], who stated that Early and late leaf spots commonly called Tick Diseases caused huge yield loss in groundnut due to defoliation and insect pests on groundnut such as Hobner (Heliothis amigera) and aplids have become a serious problem in groundnut in recent years.…”

The study was carried out to analyse the profitability of groundnut production in Northern Part of Taraba State. The objectives of the study were to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of groundnut farmers, estimate the cost and returns associated with groundnut production and identify the constraints faced by groundnut farmers in the study area. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire administered to 150 randomly selected farmers in the study area. Data generated from the questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics and budget techniques. Results revealed that most farmers 75% are young, mostly females (57.50%) and educated (75%). It also showed that the total revenue (TR), gross margin (GM) and net farm Income (NFI) per hectare were N100,818.00, N42,422.00, and N41,172 respectively while the Gross margin per naira invested and net farm income per naira invested were N0.73 and N0.69 respectively. The problems faced by groundnut farmers include: pest and diseases infestations, insufficient contact by extension agents, shortage of labour, low groundnut prices and inadequate credit facilities among others. The study also recommended that government should re-introduce commodity board and advised that farmers should form cooperatives groups in order to facilitate access to modern farm inputs as well as credit facilities from lending institutions to the farmers in study area.

“…The relationship between disease severity and yield increase at different plant spacings is reported. Lower incidence and severity of the leaf spots is reported at a 50 × 30 cm intrarow spac ing in comparison to 50 × 20 cm in Nigeria (Garba et al 2005). Reduced tillage, the strip-tilled peanut crop with the presence of cover crop residue at the soil surface of strip-tilled fields in the United States, is less severely affected by ELS epidemics than conventionally tilled fields.…”

AgriculturalSciences. He has more than 22 years of research experience in oilseed crop disease management and has significantly contributed in the areas of understanding the host-pathogen interactions, epi demiology, and integrated disease management in sunflower, safflower, sesame, peanut, and rape seed-mustard crops. He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed research papers and 4 books. Dr. Chattopadhyay has to his credit several academic awards and one patent. His significant research achievements include the development of Fusarium wilt-resistant genotypes in safflower, the iden tification of genotypes of Brassica juncea resistant to a mixture of isolates of Albugo candida, the development of a biocontrol agent formulation to reduce the use of fungicides in the management of major diseases of oilseeds (Brassica), and seed treatment (and foliar application) of aqueous bulb extract of Allium sativum for the management of major foliar diseases (Alternaria blight, white rust, powdery mildew, and Sclerotinia stem rot) of mustard.
