Evaluation of Groundnut Genotypes for Agronomicand Seed Quality Traits
Journal Title: International Journal of Plant & Soil Science - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
An experiment was oversaw to assess agronomic and seed quality traits in 11 Groundnut genotypes along with one check (K 6) at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHIATS), Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh during kharif season (2015). The genotypes were sown at field experimentation center in three replications adopting randomized block design to evaluate agronomic and seed quality traits. The analysis of variance for 17 parameters revealed that significant differences were observed for all the characters except pod width among the genotypes On the basis of mean performance, genotype ICG 15309 revealed best performance in primary branches/ plant, pods per plant, pod yield/plant, seed yield/plant while ICG 4598 recorded highest 100 kernel weight (47.15 gm).The genotype ICG 1399 (117.5) and ICG 14008 (117.67) were earliest in days to maturity.
