“…Moving forward, research programs will need to explore new approaches to managing pests, especially where chemical tools are vulnerable and where cultivars have limited impact or cultural practices are challenging to integrate or are minimally effective. Continued emphasis on genetics and breeding and increasing efficiency of cultivar development will be important in addressing the needs of the peanut industry (Chamberlin, 2019; Holbrook et al., 2016). While genetic engineering has been an effective tool used for crop improvement, the peanut industry in the United States is reluctant to use this approach because of concerns over consumer preference and maintaining markets.…”

“…Limitations in these areas can adversely affect yield and sustainability of peanut‐based farming systems. Genetics and breeding programs have focused on incorporating heritable traits in cultivars that address industry needs (Holbrook et al., 2016). These traits often include resistance to pathogens and nematodes, improved fatty acid profiles (expression of a higher level of oleic acid), pod and quality characteristics that address needs for specific markets, and increasing yield potential in both the presence and absence of biotic and abiotic stresses (Holbrook et al., 2016).…”

Research in genetics and breeding is also underway to address the complicated issues of aflatoxin contamination, drought stress, nitrogen fixation efficiency, and pod and seed maturity (Desmae et al., 2018; Devi, Rowland, Payton, Faircloth, & Sinlcair, 2013; Holbrook et al., 2016; Kennedy, Leonforte, & Butsch, 2015). However, selection for new traits for improved insect and weed management, nutrient use efficiency, and other production limitations has not been a significant component of public commercial cultivar development programs.…”

A diversity of pests can adversely affect peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield, quality, and financial return. Farmers rely heavily on applied chemicals to suppress many of the economically important pests present in peanut. The effectiveness of this approach to pest management may not be sustainable, however, due to evolved resistance in pests to chemicals, reluctance of basic chemical manufacturers to invest in product development because of the relatively small market for peanut compared with other crops, cost to initially register or re‐register chemicals, and the desire for peanut buyers and processors to capture international markets that may have varying agrochemical residue restrictions for peanut. Heavy reliance on chemical control could leave peanut production systems vulnerable to yield loss; thus, a more concerted research effort is needed to increase the number and availability of nonchemical tools that protect peanut from pests in order to ensure long‐term sustainability of peanut production systems.

“…Oil quality in terms of high proportion of oleic acid is desirable to increase product shelf life [101] and provide many health benefits to consumers [102][103][104]. The challenge is to build on these advances in groundnut improvement for oil content and quality [105] to put these traits together with other desirable agronomic traits (i.e., yield and disease resistance) in an ideal cultivar for stakeholders of the value chain [95].…”

Past, Present and Future Perspectives on Groundnut Breeding in Burkina Faso

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major food and cash crop in Burkina Faso. Due to the growing demand for raw oilseeds, there is an increasing interest in groundnut production from traditional rain-fed areas to irrigated environments. However, despite implementation of many initiatives in the past to increase groundnut productivity and production, the groundnut industry still struggles to prosper due to the fact of several constraints including minimal development research and fluctuating markets. Yield penalty due to the presence of drought and biotic stresses continue to be a major drawback for groundnut production. This review traces progress in the groundnut breeding that started in Burkina Faso before the country’s political independence in 1960 through to present times. Up to the 1980s, groundnut improvement was led by international research institutions such as IRHO (Institute of Oils and Oleaginous Research) and ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics). However, international breeding initiatives were not sufficient to establish a robust domestic groundnut breeding programme. This review also provides essential information about opportunities and challenges for groundnut research in Burkina Faso, emphasising the need for institutional attention to genetic improvement of the crop.
