Description |
A field and laboratory experiments were carried out at NSP, UAS, Dharwad to study the effect of different methods of cultivation on growth, yield and quality of seeds and effect of these methods, provenance and containers on storability of seeds. In a field experiment the methods of cultivation comprising of flat bed, broad bed and furrow (BBF) and BBF + polythene mulching. Among these BBF + polythene mulching exhibited significantly higher growth parameters like taller plants, more number of branches per plant higher shelling percentage and higher 100 seed weight than BBF and flat bed methods. Significant difference for B:C ratio was recorded among the methods. Maximum B:C ratio was recorded with BBF (5.41) followed by BBF + polythene mulching (5.08) and lowest with flat bed method (5.04). The seeds produced under BBF + polythene mulching exhibited significantly higher seed quality parameters like germination percentage (83.7) and seedling vigour index (1949). Among the varieties TMV-2 recorded significantly higher growth parameters at all the growth stages. The storage experiment was carried out to know the effect of production locations, method of cultivation and containers on seed quality and storability of summer groundnut. Among the production locations seeds produced at Bagalkot recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters than Dharwad. Among the methods, seeds produced under polythene mulching recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters than that of BBF method. Among the containers, seeds stored under polylined gunny bag recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters than that of HDPE and gunny bag. Interaction of storage containers (C1, C2 and C3), method of cultivation (M1 and M2) and production locations (L1 and L2), pods in polylined gunny bag produced under polythene mulching at Bagalkot (L2 x M2 x C3) recorded significantly higher values for all seed quality parameters compared to other interaction effects. |
