Background: Resistance to foliar fungal diseases along with oleic acid trait, are important objectives of groundnut breeding. Among diseases, rust and Late Leaf Spot (LLS) cause significant economic loss high trait is preferred in industry that enhances values crop. Methods: Morphological characterization the 186-groundnut germplasm lines/genotypes for ten yield attributing traits their signifi...

Employing the Mahalanobis D2 statistic, a divergence study was performed on 36 groundnut genotypes and 13 clusters were identified. Indicating that of these groups may be more divergent from one another, maximum inter-cluster distance (D) found between cluster II XIII (315.56), followed by III IX (289.56), XII (289.21), (297.11). The in mentioned showed significant difference means for traits c...

The phosphorus in legumes plays an essential role as part of the membrane system cell, chloroplast and mitochondria. Groundnut, being a legume oilseed crop, requires significant amount phosphorus. Plants use it for energy transfer metabolic processes such photosynthesis (in form ATP ADP), starch sugar transformation nutrient movement. In addition to promoting cell division development good root...

Groundnut crop is one of the major sources financial and food security for a large number Tanzanian smallholder farmers. However, production groundnuts in Tanzania underdeveloped, yields are reportedly 2.5 to 3 times lower than other African nations such as Nigeria. There factors that contribute including cultivation outdated plant varieties, increased climate variability, infestation pests dis...

Two feeding trials were conducted to study the combined effects of (i) varying degrees of selective consumption and (ii) supplementation with cowpea (Trail 1) or groundnut haulms (Trial 2), on intake of organic matter (IOM) from sorghum stover, and total intake of digestible organic matter (IDOM). In both trials, 36 rams were allocated to 36 different treatments: six levels of feeding sorghum s...

Acton el al. (1932) used a vegetable medium from a green variety of mung dal (Phaseolus mungo) for cultivation of the intestinal bacteria. Brewer (1943) suggested a mixture of soyabean and cotton seed or peanut meal for the preparation of a general purpose media using sodium sulphide as an activator; the sodium sulphide would readily generate sulphuretted hydrogen which by lowering the pH of th...
