Abstract
In growth studies of 4 diverse groundnut cultivars, no major differences in growth were noted in the vegetative phase, but differences in seed development and stem growth during the reproductive phase resulted in considerable differences in overall growth between cultivars. Stem growth of cv. Natal Common was very variable after growth for 14 weeks, but generally showed a rapid cessation, whereas cv. 59/66 continued to increase rapidly. Seed yields were 455, 412 and 260 g/m2 in cv. Valencia R1, Makulu Red, and both 59/66 and Natal Common, respectively. Seed yields appeared to be determined mainly by size of the seed sink and the synchronization of seed growth with a large leaf area. CGR varied with leaf area, seed growth rate early in the reproductive phase and with the ability of vegetative components to grow simultaneously with plant reproductive parts
