A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of iron fertilization on growth, yield and quality groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) during kharif, 2016 (June September at instructional farm, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. Twelve treatments viz. T1: control (water spray); T2: FeSO4 basal @ 25 kg ha-1; T3: Foliar spray citric acid 0.1% 45 75 day...

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Effect Land Configuration and Sulphur Growth, Yield Economics Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)”, to study response groundnut under three land configurations such as, flatbed, raised bed ridges furrow methods with combination (30,45 60 kg/ha). The results revealed ...

Maize (Zea mays L.)–legume intercropping is common cropping system among smallholder farmers in West Africa. However, little known about the income risk reduction associated with maize–legume strip A 3-yr study was conducted Upper and Northern regions of Ghana to determine effect on productivity, income, using a randomized complete block design five replications each region. Seven treatments we...

Peanut, Arachis hypogaea L., is a protein-rich species consumed worldwide. A key improvement to peanut culture involves the development of cultivars that resist fungal diseases such as rust, leaf spot and scab. Over three years, we evaluated fungal resistance under field conditions of 43 wild accessions and three interspecific hybrids of the genus Arachis, as well as six A. hypogaea genotypes. ...

The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an allotetraploid composed of A and B genomes. The phylogenetic relationship among the cultivated peanut, wild diploid, and tetraploid species in the section Arachis was studied based on sequence comparison of stearoyl-ACP desaturase and oleoyl-PC desaturase. The topology of the trees for both fatty acid desaturases displayed two clusters; one clus...

A rhizobacterium isolated from groundnut rhizosphere and identified as Alcaligenes faecalis BCCM 2374 produced siderophore during 24 h submerged growth in modified succinic acid medium (SM) prepared in tap water without deferration. For the optimized production of siderophore in the presence of starch and sucrose, the optimum parameters found were as follows: slight acidic pH (5.5), 35C tempera...

The solid state fermentation of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp (cowpea) and Arachis hypogaea (groundnut) was carried out using Rhizopus oligosporus at different inoculum size (1.89 x 102, 3.78 5.67 7.56 9.45 102 11.34 CFU g-1). Following for 72 hours, biochemical parameters were determined in fermented unfermented samples. All sizes produced significantly more phenol flavonoids the groundnut samples...

Fusarium wilt diseases caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum lead to significant yield losses of crops. Biocontrol agents such asTrichoderma viride , Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens are applied to control Fusarium wilt of Arachis hypogaea. Experiments were conducted on the effect of culture filtrates of T.viride (1%), T.harzianum (1.5%), and P. fluorescens (2%) on biochemica...
