Noudjalbaye, B.
With cultivated lands estimated between 130 000 to 200 000 ha and production between 100 to 150.000 tons, groundnut is the third most important food crop in Chad. In the Sahelian zone, varieties 55-437 and Rose of Delhi are widely used and distribution of TS-32-1 is in progress. In the Sudanian zone introduced varieties are 55-313, 73-33, 55-437, GH 119-20 and Rose of Delhi. In general, cultivation is performed manually or using animal traction. Recommended sowing densities are not always used and groundnut is often intercropped with millet, sorghum or maize. The constraints limiting groundnut production in Chad are briefly discussed
