Abstract
Groundnut germplasm accessions, wild Arachis spp. and cultivars were screened for cold tolerance at germination and early seedling growth, in a temperature cycle of 18/12°C. Twenty-six of 550 accessions, 1 of 6 wild Arachis spp. (A. monticola) and 2 of 42 cultivars (CGC4018 and Girnar 1) were relatively tolerant. Osmoconditioning with PEG 6000 (-1.20 MPa) at 15° for 10 d enhanced field emergence and early seedling growth in the winter-summer season (January-May), and is suggested for use in developing cold tolerance in groundnut.
