Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation TMV-2 and ICGS-11 groundnut genotypes were susceptible to Fe chlorosis.
- Observation TMV-2 and ICGS-11 produced significantly smaller haulm and pod yield.
- Observation ICGV-8603 1 groundnut genotype was tolerant to Fe chlorosis.
- Intervention effect Farmer fertilizer practice had the highest incidence of Fe chlorosis.
- Association Extractable Fe and chlorophyll content in fresh leaves were significantly correlated with visual chlorosis ratings.
- Observation Extractable Fe and chlorophyll content in fresh leaves were the best indices of Fe status.
- Intervention effect Foliar FeSO4 application was effective in correcting Fe chlorosis compared with a non-sprayed control.
- Recommendation Tolerant genotypes or foliar FeSO4 in susceptible genotypes, combined with recommended fertilizer levels, is an effective management package for alleviating Fe chlorosis in groundnut.
