Genetics of Stay-Green Trait and Its Association with Leaf Spot Tolerance and Pod Yield in Groundnut
This study was designed to determine the genetic control of the stay-green trait and its relationship with leaf spot disease severity in groundnut. Results showed significant (p < 0.001) differences among the genotypes for early leaf spot (ELS), late leaf spot (LLS), leaf area under greenness (LAUG), SPAD chlorophyll meter readings (SCMR), and yield traits.
Evaluation of Selected Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Lines for Yield and Haulm Nutritive Quality Traits
Groundnut pods and haulms are important sources of income for smallholder farmers in Ghana, with an emerging market for groundnut haulms as livestock feed. A population of 30 groundnut genotypes were evaluated for yield (pod and haulm) and its components as well as good haulm nutritive value.
