Abstract
Fifteen groundnut genotypes (including check) obtained from ICRISAT, Hyderabad evaluated for qualitative parameters. The crop was sown during wet season 2013 at Field Experimentation Center of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, SHIATS, Allahabad Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications, 13 quantitative parameters were studied. The analysis of variance revealed the prevalence of significant different among the genotypes for all studied parameters viz. Field emergence, Days to 50% flowering, Plant height, Number of primary branches, Days to maturity, Pod yield per plant, Pod yield, Seed yield per plant, Seed index (Hundred kernels weight), Shelling percentage, Kernel yield, Sound matured kernels and Kernel uniformity. Based on per se performance genotypes ICG 2772, ICG 2777 and ICG 3027 were found to best for pod yield per plant. High to moderate estimates of GCV and PCV were exhibited by kernel yield q/ha, pod yield q/ha, pod yield per plant(g), plant height(cm), indicating that these character could be used selection indices for crop improvement. The exhibited high values for heritability (broad sense), seed index, Days to 50 % flowering followed by matured kernel and plant height. Exhibited high values for genetic advance pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant followed by field emergence and seed index. Depicted high values for genetic advance as mean percent kernel yield, pod yield followed seed yield per plant and pod yield per plant. Data was submitted to BOLD for selected groundnut genotypes with genotype ICG 2381 identified as best genotype for pod length and Genotype ICG 2106 identified as best genotype for pod width. Genotype ICG 2381, ICG 2511 and ICG 2857 identified as very testy. “Groundnut SHIATS” title to derived specimens with authoritative taxonomic identification. So these genotypes are better preferred for consumed directly by humans.
