Title Drought Research on Groundnut at ICRISAT Centre
 
Creator Rao, R C N
 
Subject Groundnut
 
Description DROUGHreTsea rch on groundnut conducted at
ICRISAT Centre (IC) over the past decade can be
grouped into three broad areas: screening and
evaluation of genotypes for drought tolerance;
strategic research on physiological mechanisms;
and some applied research on drought management.
Due to limitations of time, I wish to
concentrate on progress made in the first two
areas, which are relevant to the present workshop.
Drought research in groundnut at IC began in
1980, with experiments to examine the timing of
irrigation and plant population. Screening of
genotypes for drought tolerance began after the
198 1-82 post-rainy season.
