Abstract:

Cultivated groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), also commonly known as pul, emaido, ebinyebwa, njugu in
some of the languages where it is produced in Uganda, belongs to genus Arachis in subtribe Stylosanthinae
of tribe Aeschynomenea of family Leguminosae. Groundnut is an annual self-pollinating, indeterminate,
herbaceous legume that grows to a maximum height of 60 cm. Natural cross-pollination occurs at rates
of less than 1%. The fruit is a pod with one to five seeds that develops underground within a needlelike
structure called a peg, an elongated ovarian structure
