The Savanah Agriculture Research Institute of the Council for Scientific Industrial Research (CSRI-SARI), has introduced high yielding groundnut varieties to farmers in the Pusiga District of the Upper East Region in Ghana. The groundnut varieties are SARINUT 1 and SARINUT 2 are high yielding and tolerant to early and late leaf spot diseases, important diseases of groundnut that can cause up to 90% yield loss in some places. The new varieties would mitigate losses caused by evolving climate patterns, pests, and disease complexes.
