Grain and fodder yields on farmers field in Ghana are low due to limited use of improved varieties and inappropriate agronomic practices such as low planting densities. An on-farm was conducted over a three-year period to evaluate the effect of plant density on grain and fodder yields of improved groundnut varieties in northern Ghana.
