Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Fourteen drought resistant genotypes of groundnut along with 2 checks as Dhaka-1 and BARI Chinabadam 8 were evaluated at Joydebpur. Maturity duration ranged from 166-185 days. Highest no. of pods/plant was recorded in ICGV-00351followed by ICGV-01246. The bold seeded entry was ICGV-99229 followed by ICGV-99235. Highest shelling percentage recorded in ICGV-01260 followed by ICGV-00349. Entry ICGV-01246 produced the highest pod yield followed by ICGV-00350.

Keywords: Groundnut, Drought resistance, Ovservation trial

Location: BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 27-12-2010

End Date:

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Ground nut

Objectives:

To identify drought resistant genotypes of groundnut.

Methodology:

Fourteen drought resistant genotypes of groundnut received from ICRISAT, India along with 2 checks as Dhaka-1 and BARI Chinabadam 8 were sown on December 27, 2010 at Joydebpur. Unit plot size was 2 rows 4m long with the spacing of 30cm between rows and 10 cm between plants. Recommended doses of fertilizers were applied @ 80:65:60:20:4 kg/ha of NPKSZn, respectively. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Data on days to maturity and pod yield per plot were taken on plot basis. The other yield contributing characters like no. of mature pods per plant, 100-kernel weight and shelling percentage were recorded from 5 randomly selected plants of each plot. Pod yield per plot were converted to per hectare.

Achievement/Findings:

All the genotypes showed significant variation for most of the characters. Maturity duration ranged from 166-185 days. No. of mature pods/plant ranged from 13-48. Highest no. of pods/plant was recorded in ICGV-00351 (48) followed by ICGV-01246 (37). Hundred kernel weight ranged from 33-62 g. The bold seeded entry was ICGV-99229 followed by ICGV-99235. Shelling percentage ranged from 40-76%. Highest shelling percentage recorded in ICGV-01260 followed by ICGV-00349. Pod yield ranged from 492-1583 kg/ha. Entry ICGV-01246 produced the highest pod yield (1583 kg/ha) followed by ICGV-00350 (1542 kg/ha).
