In Niger, the color of the leaves, the number of pods, pod filling, pod beak, and pod yield were the most important traits sought by farmers. In Nigeria, plant vigor, plant maturity, plant type, number of pods, pod size, haulm yield and pod yield were the important traits (Table 4-7). 62 Engaging Smallholder Farmers | Tropical Legumes II Project

Varieties selected by farmers can be site-specific and finally, attributes such as color of leaves, pod reticulation and pod beak tend to be neglected. Lessons learned include (1) a better choice of varieties for PVS with different traits, and (2) the need for targeting varieties to recommendation domains. Early diffusion of groundnut varieties in the Dosso region, Niger The contribution of groundnut to cash income of smallholder farmers has significantly increased in the surveyed areas. The total value of groundnut sales has increased. Groundnut contributes to 66% of household cash revenues in Niger in 2007/08 and has increased to 83% in Niger. No statistical differences were found between program and non-program villages. Groundnut market participation has increased in the surveyed sites. In Niger, in 2007/08, it is estimated that about 79% of households are net-sellers of groundnut against 93% in 2009/10. In Niger, 39 and 42% of households are net-buyers of maize and pearl millet respectively. The uptake of modern groundnut varieties in surveyed sites in the Dosso region in Niger has increased significantly from 14% of groundnut area planted in 2007/08. More than 95% of the area was covered with the variety RRB. Survey results showed that 47% of area was planted with the variety 55-437. Several varieties were introduced during the GGP project and promoted during the GSP project including TS 32-1, RRB, etc have been adopted with 14% of area planted mostly with RRB. The major constraints to using improved varieties have been reported by farmers to be the non-availability of seed for 60%. Lack of cash was cited as a major constraint. In 2009/10, it is estimated that 64% of farmers have adopted at least one improved variety of which more 90% was the variety RRB i.e. 56%. The proportion of area covered with improved varieties is estimated to about 49% with RRB alone accounting for 39% and other varieties such as Fleur 11, J11, ICG 9346 and TS 32-1 accounting for about 10%. However, the area covered by 55-437 has decreased to 32%. Progress of Phase 1 63
