Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation All varieties performed better on Pediplain than Sand Sheet soils because of moisture retention.
- Association Seasonal rainfall strongly affected groundnut yields.
- Association Seasonal rainfall strongly affected groundnut fertilizer response.
- Recommendation Very low yields at Umm Higlig in 1965 suggested fertilizer application would hardly be economical with poorly distributed rainfall.
- Intervention effect Fertilizers markedly increased groundnut vegetative growth.
- Observation Upright bunch varieties seemed better adapted to the short rainy season than spreading bunch and runner varieties because of earliness.
- Recommendation The authors identified long seed dormancy and high oil content as important breeding objectives.
