Effect of vigour levels on growth parameters of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Author(s): Smayli Rana and NK Biradarpatil
Abstract: Experiment was conducted in the Seed Quality Research Laboratory of National Seed Project, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad “to assess the field performance with respect to growth parameters in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Based on vigour levels†during the period of June 2015 to January 2016. Twenty seed lots having varied germination percentages were sown in three replications to study the effect of vigour on field performance. The following evaluations were made: speed of emergence, field emergence (%), plant population per plot, days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of main branches and number of leaves per plant. The results indicated significantly lower growth parameters for less vigorous lots and also it was observed that plant height and number of leaves showed significant differences up to 60DAS after which the difference diminishes unlikely as with days to 50% flowering & the number of branches at different stages of crop growth (30 DAS, 60 DAS, 90 DAS & at harvest) which had no significant difference.
