Title: Study on genetic variability and seed quality of Groundnut(Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes
Abstract: Fifteen groundnut genotypes (including check)
obtained from ICRISAT, Hyderabad evaluated for qualitative
parameters. The crop was sown during wet season 2013 at
Field Experimentation Center of the Department of Genetics
and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, SHIATS,
Allahabad Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Block Design with three replications, 13
quantitative parameters were studied. The analysis of
variance revealed the prevalence of significant different
among the genotypes for all studied parameters viz. Field
emergence, Days to 50% flowering, Plant height, Number of
primary branches, Days to maturity, Pod yield per plant, Pod
yield, Seed yield per plant, Seed index (Hundred kernels
weight), Shelling percentage, Kernel yield, Sound matured
kernels and Kernel uniformity. Based on per se performance
genotypes ICG 2772, ICG 2777 and ICG 3027 were found to
best for pod yield per plant. High to moderate estimates of
GCV and PCV were exhibited by kernel yield q/ha, pod yield
q/ha, pod yield per plant(g), plant height(cm), indicating that
these character could be used selection indices for crop
improvement. The exhibited high values for heritability
(broad sense), seed index, Days to 50 % flowering followed by
matured kernel and plant height. Exhibited high values for
genetic advance pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant
followed by field emergence and seed index. Depicted high
values for genetic advance as mean percent kernel yield, pod
yield followed seed yield per plant and pod yield per plant.
Data was submitted to BOLD for selected groundnut
genotypes with genotype ICG 2381 identified as best genotype
for pod length and Genotype ICG 2106 identified as best
genotype for pod width. Genotype ICG 2381, ICG 2511 and
ICG 2857 identified as very testy. “Groundnut SHIATS” title
to derived specimens with authoritative taxonomic
identification. So these genotypes are better preferred for
consumed directly by humans.
