Subject Groundnut
 
Description Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting yield and quality of rainfed
groundnut worldwide. Yield losses due to drought are highly variable in nature
depending on its timing, intensity, and duration, coupled with other locationspecific
environmental factors such as irradiance and temperature. The effects
of drought on groundnut are manifested in several ways, affecting both
quantity and quality of the crop. Water deficits, depending on the timing of
occurrence, can cause significant reduction in yield by affecting physiological
processes such as nitrogen fixation, photosynthesis, and calcium uptake by
developing pods.......................
