In 1999, GG-2 variety of groundnut was grown in the monsoon season from which one plant having good growth was selected. This plant was observed till the harvesting, from which more seeds with good quality are produced compared to other plants. The leaves of this plant are broader. Several pods are larger and resistant to disease and pests. The seeds obtained from this plant were sown in 1991. As a result, one plant, gave 150 g of seeds. These seeds are sown in the summer season, and finally, 5 to 6 kg seeds are obtained. Again, these seeds were sown in the monsoon of 1992, from which 180 kg seeds were obtained. The farmer sold all these groundnut seeds and kept only 10 kg for himself. Again, he has sowed these seeds in the monsoon of 1993, and from 0.24 ha of land, he received 40 kg seeds, and from 0.72 ha of land, he received 120 kg of seeds. 10 kg of seeds he kept with himself, and 4 kg he gave to Gopabhai Govindbhai Sanghani. In 1994, he sowed 10 kg of seeds, from which he received 1440 kg production. Evaluation: This variety has been sown and found to be free from disease and pests; its phenotypic characters are superior compared to other variety of groundnut.
