Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A comparative study of thirteen groundnut varieties was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna in the year, 1976 during the kharif season. The varieties under study were Natal-I, Dhaka no. 1, Spanish 146-H-48-4, N.C. 4X, Cox's Bazar, P.L, Red Spanish (Australia), Virginia (Ceylon), K-17, Uganda (Erect), A.I.-2, Maclean Valencia and Small Japan. It was observed that the early varieties were Natal-I, Dhaka no.I, Spanish 146-H-48-4, N.C. 4X, Cox's Bazar, P.I, Red Spanish (Australia) and Small Japan and the varieties Virginia (Ceylon), K-17, Uganda (Erect), A.I-2 and Maclean Valencia were late. Maximum number of pegs and mature pods were found in the variety Dhaka no.l in which the shelling percentage was also highest. The variety Natal-l out yielded the other varieties having produced 1673.02 Kg of dry nut per hectare. Among the varieties under study, A.I.-2 was inferior in all respect.

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Ground nut

Objectives:

To find out the superior genotypes of groundnut varieties

Methodology:

The materials for the present investigation consisted of 13 groundnut varieties. The varieties were Natal -1, Dhaka no. 1, Spanish 146-H-48-4, N.C. 4X, Cox's Bazar, P.I., Red Spanish (Australia), Virginia (Ceylon), K-17, Uganda (Erect), A.1.-2, Maclean Valencia and Small Japan. The experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna, The material was sown on the 28th May, 1976 during the kharif season in a randomized complete block design with four replications and in an unit plot of 6.75 m X 4.95 m. The plants were spaced 15 cm in lines and 45 cm apart. Fertilizers at the rate of 35 Kg N, 45 Kg P₂O₅, 35 Kg K₂O per hectare were applied. The entire quantities of P₂0₅ and and K₂0 and half the quantity of nitrogen was applied at the time of final preparation of land. The rest half of nitrogen was applied after four weeks of sowing. Observations were made on 10 random plants from each plot for days to maturity, number of pegs and mature pods per plant, shellir.q percentage and yield per plot was also recorded.

Achievement/Findings:

It has been observed from the result that there is a relation between the production of number of pegs and the formation of mature pods per plant. The variety Dacca no. 1 gave the highest number of pegs and consequently produced the highest number of mature pods per plant. Similar was the case of AI.-2 which produced the lowest number of pegs and therefore the lowest number of mature of pegs and therefore the lowest number of mature pods per plant. Maximum number of pegs and mature pods were found in the variety Dacca no.l in which the shelling percentage was also highest. The variety Natal-lout yielded the other varieties having produced 1673.02 Kg of dry nut per hectare. Among the varieties under study, A.I.-2 was inferior in all respect.
