Response of different peanut genotypes to reduced phosphorous availability
Main Article Content
Abstract
Performances of 23 peanut genotypes comprising of popular varieties and few widely used germplasm accessions were compared under P-unfertilized and Pfertilized conditions during kharif and summer seasons to identify P-efficient and P-inefficient genotypes. Yield parameters and P concentrations in different plant parts at maturity were recorded and P-efficiency indices calculated. Significant differences among peanut genotypes, P levels and P × genotype interactions were observed for all the traits. LP caused 33% and 23% yield reduction during kharif and summer season respectively. However, performance of genotypes varied with the season and P supply. Genotypes FeESG-10, GG-7, GG-20 and TG-37A with high yield, kernel P-uptake and P concentration in leaf were Pefficient. On the contrary genotypes NRCG-162, GPBD-4, NRCG-7320 and NRCG-7085 were identified as P-inefficient. As an immediate solution to P deficient soils, the P-efficient genotypes could be directly grown in the LP soils with/ without using P to get high yield.
