Overview
Research efforts have been directed toward identifying production constraints and testing genetic and cultural methods to overcome these constraints.
Outcomes
Both Belize and Jamaica have identified superior (to the local cultivar) peanut genotypes and are planning to release these genotypes within one year. Antigua and Trinidad are not yet to the cultivar release state and will need to continue genotype testing during the 1987 season.
