Abstract

Eight groundnut cultivars were grown at Tifton, Georgia in 1986 and water was withheld at 20-50, 50-80, 80-110 or 110-140 d after planting. Drought stress early or late in the growing season had little or no effect on seed oil, protein and mineral contents. Drought stress during mid-season growth affected all components but only the decreases in oil and copper contents were consistent for all cultivars
