Genotypic Differences For Reproductive Growth, Yield, And Yield Components In Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L.), Sevgi̇ Çalişkan, Mehmet Emi̇n Çalişkan, Mehmet Arslan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was conducted to evaluate reproductive growth, oil and protein accumulation in seeds, and some yield components of 8 groundnut genotypes in 2001 and 2002. The number of flowers, pegs, and pods per plant during the reproductive period were determined with periodic counts starting from flowering. The percentage of flowers turned to pegs and pods, and the percentage of pegs turned to pods were calculated at the end of the growing period. After pod setting, 6 plants per plot were harvested at 15-day intervals to determine oil and protein content of seeds. At final harvest pod yield and some …
