Abstract
The nature and extent of “Seed viability in groundnut (Arachis hypogea
Linn.)” was studied in a set of fifty five genotypes of groundnut grown in
Randomized complete block design with three replications at Department of
Agril. Botany, B.A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand, during the Kharif and
summer seasons of the year 2010. The observations were recorded on
seventeen morphological and two biochemical characters viz., germination
count at 5th day in field, germination count at 10th day in field, plant height ,
primary branches, secondary branches, days to 50 % flowering, number of
mature pods per plants, number of immature pods per plants, hundred seed
weight, tightness of kernel in the hull shelling percent, sound mature kernel,
harvest index, days of maturity, pod yield per plant , kernel yield per plant,
shrivelled seed, protein content and oil content.
