Abstract

Field screening of groundnut genotypes for their quantitative and seed quality traits carried out at Field Experimentation Center, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad during Kharif-2015 showed highly significant differences among genotypes for 12 quantitative and 4 quality characters studied. Genotype (ICG 13942) registering maximum pod and kernal yield of 66.4 and 36.67 g plant−1 was identified as the best genotype. Genotype (ICG 3037) performed best in terms of pod and kernel length.
