Abstract
Field experiment was carried out by split-plot method to record the effect of UV-C irradiation on seed germination, seedling growth and productivity of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The results indicate that UV-C irradiation up to 60min. increased the growth parameters of groundnut plant recorded. The UV-C irradiation produces significant increase in seedling vigour and biomass production as compared to control and other treatments. The results of present study reveals that the UV-C irradiation treatments up to 60 min. has no significant adverse effect on seed germination, seedling growth and productivity of groundnut plant.
