NBS Television, a national network in Uganda, recently highlighted the groundnut breeding work of the National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute (NaSARRI) and PMIL collaborator Kalule David Okello, who is working to create drought- and disease-resistant varieties for the region.

Ugandan scientists have developed a new variety of groundnuts that is resistant to drought and the deadly rosette vectors that cause 100% crop failure. The new variety, which is yet to be given a market name by NaSARRI, is expected to hit the market before the start of the first planting season in 2017.
