Karnataka and the Central part of India are the cities that have a major variety of groundnut which are released annually in India. Chhattisgarh, a state in India, has just introduced a one-of-a-kind groundnut variety that, in comparison to zonal tests, produces oil and pod yields that are 28% greater. The Chhattisgarh Mungfali-1 (CGM-1) groundnut variety was the first groundnut variety to be issued by the Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) in the newly formed state of Chhattisgarh in the year 2000. At state-level multi-location studies carried out in 2018 and 2019, CGM-1 (ICGV 06420) recorded a mean pod yield of 4,200 kg/ha. These trials were carried out in 2018. This is a 28% advantage over the pod yield of Zonal checks TAG 24 and GG 8, as well as a 14% advantage over the pod yield of JL 776. In tests carried out across the nation in 2013 and 2014 as part of the All India Coordinated Groundnut Project on Groundnut (AICRP-G), it generated 28% more oil than the best control variety, which was GG 8. It had an average oil content of 52% and a shelling yield of 68%. In addition, there was a 27% increase in the total number of pods produced in comparison to the Zone 3 control variety (which includes Chhattisgarh state). 
Both leaf rust and late leaf spot (LLS), two key biotic agents that impair pod output during the rainy season farming in the state, have shown some degree of resistance to CGM-1. LLS stands for late leaf spot. During statewide testing in AICRP-G trials, leaf rust was given a disease score of 2 to 4 on a scale that ranged from 1 to 9, whereas LLS was given a disease score of 2 to 6 for comparison purposes. The variety is the result of a cross between two exceptional parents, one of which is ICGV 87846. ICGV 87846, in turn, has as one of its parents an interspecific derivative derived from a cross between domesticated Arachis hypogea and a wild diploid species Arachis cardinals. This wild species is the source of rust and LLS resistance in the domesticated Arachis hypogea. The well-known early-maturing variety Chico is a descendant of the other parent, ICGV 99240. ICGV stands for International Center for Genomic Variation. During the monsoon season in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, the variety matures in 114 days. Three different agro-climatic zones in the state of Chhattisgarh are ideal for the growth of CGM-1: the lowlands of Chhattisgarh, the Northern Hills Zone, and the Bastar Plateau area. 
During the meeting of the State Variety Release Committee that took place on June 12, 2020, CGM-1 was granted the green light for cultivation in the state of Chhattisgarh. (SVRC). Extensive research was conducted between 2011 and 2015 to identify stable groundnut lines with high oil yields. This research was carried out as part of a program that was funded by the National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (NMOOP) of the Department of Agriculture, Co-operation, the Department of Agriculture Care and Welfare within the Indian Ministry of Agriculture (DoAC&FW). According to the findings of our in-depth research, the ICGVs 05155, 06049, 06041, 06420, and 03043 are reliable oil lines that produce a high volume of oil (Janila et al., 2016). After completing on-station and state-level multi-location testing, the initiative that was financed by the OPEC Fund for International Development would eventually result in the release of CGM-1 in the year 2020. Dr. SK Patil, Vice Chancellor of IGKV, Raipur, played a vital part in the testing and releasing of the variety, and he gave outstanding help to the collaboration. Junagadh Agricultural University (JAU), located in Junagadh, Gujarat, is responsible for the introduction of GJG 32 for Zone 5 of India in 2018, and the variety is quickly gaining in popularity. 
In the Northern Transitional Agroclimatic Zone of Karnataka, India, a unique groundnut variety that is of excellent export quality and has a superior benefit-cost ratio to local norms has been released for cultivation. This innovative groundnut variety was developed in the United States. This variety, ICGV 06189, has superior pod and kernel qualities, a larger pod yield, a greater seed mass, and a lower oil content, which is recommended for confectionary varieties. According to Dr. Motagi, ICGV 06189 has the potential to increase farmer income, meet the regional demand for confectionery groundnuts, and broaden options for export. 
This is because, in comparison to conventional confectionery cultivars, it recovers a greater proportion of large seeds (more than 70 grams per 100 seeds) and has superior pod and kernel characteristics. In the context of the Tropical Legumes II project, the All India Coordinated Research Project on Groundnut selected and recommended ICGV 06189 as the best candidate for national testing from among the advanced breeding lines provided by ICRISAT. Dr. HL Nadaf worked for the UAS-D as a groundnut breeder in the past. During the 84th meeting of the Central Sub-Committee on Crop Standards, Notification and Release of Varieties for Agricultural Crops, which was held on July 29, 2020, the new variety was approved for production in the Northern Transitional Agro-climatic Zone (Zone 8) of the state of Karnataka. This allowed the state of Karnataka to legally produce the crop in that zone.
