Through use groundnut powder, this study seeks determine split tensile strength concrete (GSP). With a compressive design f'c =21.7 MPa, mixture adheres ACI 2I1.1-91. The aggregate crushed stone with maximum diameter 19.1 mm. Portland cement type I is utilized. variation 0%...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop grown in our country. Majority of crop is under rainfed conditions and as a post rainy season (Rabi) crop in Andhra Pradesh. Several models are available to predict the phenology, growth and yield of groundnut crop. However, no precise models are available to validate the effects of moisture stress on groundnut and their subsequent im...

The seed protein contents and protein banding pattern were studied in commonly cultivated groundnut cultivars. The groundnut cultivars such as ICGV00351, TMV-7, CO-4,CO-6 and TG-374 were used for quantitative and qualitative analysis of seed proteins. The protein contents varied among the different varieties of groundnut. The maximum protein content was observed in CO-6 followed by CO-4, TMV-7,...

Malnutrition and lack of economic sustainability are major problems in developing countries. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the nutrients' contents of three locally grown nuts in Nigeria (local groundnut, Kampala groundnut and breadnut) and highlight their health and economic potentials. Proximate analysis, chemical properties, minerals and fatty acids composition of the nuts ...

The experiment was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Jessore to evaluate the performance of different varieties of hybrid maize under intercropping systems with groundnut in rabi seasons to find out the suitable intercropping system in increasing crop productivity and profitability of consecutive two years (2004 and 2005). ...

The groundnut leafminer (Aproaerema modicella), has been reported from east African countries since 1998 and from South Africa since 2000. The study aimed at determining the biology and management of groundnut leafminer (GLM) in South Africa. In a survey, 10 parasitic Hymenoptera species were identified. Two hyperparasitoids were also recorded for the first time in South Africa. GLM flight acti...
