SEASONAL VARIANCE ON GROUNDNUT SEED PRODUCTION: ROUND THE YEAR EXPERIENCES
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume or "bean" family (Fabaceae). The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay. The specific name, hypogaea means "under the earth"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates, causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground. Continued stalk growth then pushes the ovary underground where the mature fruit develops into a legume pod, the peanut – a classical example of geocarpy. India and China are the world's largest producers of peanuts, they account for a small part of international trade because most of their production is consumed domestically as peanut oil. Exports of peanuts from India and China are equivalent to less than 4 % of world trade. The major producers of peanuts are the United States, Argentina, Sudan, Senegal, and Brazil. The Present study on seed yield and seed quality parameters strongly suggested that groundnut seeds should be produced in summer and rainy (Kharif) seasons. Winter season should not be considered for seed production in groundnut.
