Abstract

Greenhouse grown Spanish variety peanut was subjected to soil moisture stress during the early flowering and pod formation growth stages. Vegetative growth was not significantly reduced by the moisture stress. Primary root length and the number of pods produced were significantly reduced. However, there was no difference between the two stress treatments.
