        Groundnut is the principal vegetable oil  crop in India and occupies the top slot in terms of area as  well as production of total oilseeds in the country.  However, about 85 percent area under groundnut remains  rainfed of which nearly 80 percent comes under dryland  where irrigation facilities do not exist at all. There has  been gradual increase in the productivity of this crop over  the last three decades. However, the enhancement was  particularly spectacular in better environments. In harsh  environment, not only the yields are low but also it  fluctuates violently. Introduction of exotic varieties  could not mitigate this problem; rather increased the  problem of insect pests and disease pathogens in rainfed  groundnut. Concerns are also being raised on the very  profitability and sustainability issues of this oilseed  crop under free economy hypotheses. On the other hand, if  yield gap statistics are any indication then there exists a  large potential to raise productivity of this crop. Keeping  these issues in mind efforts have been made in this study  to identify and prioritize production constraints in  rainfed groundnut production system and to explore major  researchable issues.},
