Abstract:
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) common in groundnut particularly in calcareous, alkaline and black soils causes reduction in yield. The present experiments including 612 F₄ populations were conducted for IDC. In F₄ populations (612) of four different crosses eight lines in cross G 2-52 × ICGV 86031, twenty seven lines in cross Dh 86 × ICGV 86031, twenty six lines in cross GPBD 5 × ICGV 86031 and twenty one lines in cross TAG 24 × ICGV 86031 were resistant to iron deficiency chlorosis at all the stages with high pod yield per plant. These progenies need to further evaluate over seasons and years to test their stability of resistance and productivity.
