Agriculture is the backbone of most economies in Africa,including Uganda,and groundnut is one of the five most important oil seeds produced in the world and in Uganda.The crop plays a critical role in the food and nutrition security of both animals and humans. The optimal production of the crop is challenged by several factors,including limited access to quality seed, limited access to quality extension service, poor management of pests and diseases, and weak farm records management,among others. The crop is susceptible to many diseases, causing a decline in productivity and quality, all of which affect the agricultural economy. T
