Pregnant rats were fed a diet to which groundnut meal containing aflatoxin was added. The rats were fed the diet either prior to or after parturition or for both periods. The progeny developed inflammatory, hyperplastic,and neoplastic changes in the livers that were not seen in progeny of control animals ted a diet that did not contain aflatoxin. Malignant liver neoplasms were seen in the proge...

CRP 3.5 is a comprehensive proposal built around combined research on eight grain legumes (GLs) – groundnut, soybean, chickpea, cowpea, common bean, pigeon pea, lentil, and faba bean – proposed by four CGIAR Centres (ICARDA, ICRISAT, IITA and CIAT) and by several NARES (India, Brazil, Turkey and Ethiopia). These crops are important dietary staples and sources of income for farmers in many, low ...

Comprising 34 groundnut genotypes an experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replication at the Research farm of Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Hathazari, Chittagong during Rabi season (December 2009 to April 2010) for estimation of the multivariate analysis of divergence. The genotypes were grouped into five clusters. Cluster III contained the highest nu...

The study was carried out at Zonal Agricultural Research Station (ZARS) Brahmavar, Udupi district. To know the effect of Calcium, Magnesium (Mg) and Boron (B) on yield components rice also their residual groundnut. geographical position area is between 74º45’ to 74º46' East longitude 13º24'45’’ 13º25’30’’ North latitude an altitude 10 meters above mean sea level. Field experiments were establis...

The experiment on “Effect of fungicides Sclerotium rolfsii isolates groundnut from Khandesh region” was conducted at Plant Pathology Section, College Agriculture, Dhule. results obtained are presented here under. Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) is a major edible oil seed crop tropical and subtropical region the world. It world’s fourth important source third vegetable protein also seeds, vines d...

Arachis hypogaea L. (Groundnut) production in Niger Delta, Nigeria is limited as the crop has not been well adapted to this region. This research was carried out determine adaptive capability of groundnut crude oil polluted soil. Seeds two varieties (Java and Bold Type) were planted soil with 0.8% 0% oil. Growth parameters measured every 10 days up 50 after planting. Nodules isolated from roots...

Flavonoids are important plant secondary metabolites, which protect plants from various stresses, including herbivory. Plants differentially respond to insects with different modes of action. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting of phenols of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) plants with differential levels of resistance was carried out in response to Helicoverpa armigera (ch...

Flavonoids secreted by legumes play a major role as signal molecules for attracting compatible rhizobia. The aim of this study was to assess and understand the diversity of microsymbionts nodulating Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc.) landraces of different seedcoat colours using restriction fragment length polymorphism and phylogenetic analysis. Seedcoat pigmentation of landraces h...

OBJECTIVE To assess the awareness and knowledge of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut and the risk of its ingestion among health workers in Ibadan. METHODS The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Study instrument was a semi-structured self administered questionnaire. The respondents were health workers from a public health facility. RESULTS A total of 417 health workers partici...

Five total mixed rations prepared from finger millet (Eleusine Coracana) straw as a roughage (48%) and mixed concentrate (52%), supplemented with a 1% isoacid mixture (i-C4, i-C5, C5 and phenylacetic acid in equal proportions) or oil (groundnut oil, 5% more than the control) or urea (5% more nitrogen than the control), and protein (groundnut cake, 5% more nitrogen than the control) were given i...
