Girnar 4 Crop - Groundnut cultivation

Folks,

Here is a quick update on the Girnar 4 variety we are cultivating in Gowribidnur. If you want some background - https://www.icrisat.org/indias-first-high-oleic-groundnut-varieties-ready-to-go-commercial/

Found out about G4 variety a few years ago when it came in a research papaer and since then have been trying to get my hands on it. A few years later a chance FB post led me to a gentleman in Andhra who had a sizable quantity, by the time i was able to reach him he only had 500 KG left which i gladly purchased and now i have those deployed in a farm in Gowribidnur. Attached are pic’s of the growth till now. we still have about 50 days to go before harvest but things seem to be green !!

Will keep you updates as and when possible.
