EARLY GENERATION SELECTION FOR LATE LEAF SPOT RESISTANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY IN GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.)

Published on Oct 11, 2019 11:02 AM

Selection response for productivity, leaf spot resistance and pod characters among plants
in SI and families in S2 generations evaluated using realised heritability and genetic gain
at 200/. selection intensity. Family selection was superior for all disease resistance and
productfvity parameterS. However, single plant selection was effective for shelling
percentage, per cent leaf area affected by disease, pod length and pod width. Early
generation selection was ineffective for pod yield.

Keywords: Early generation, selection response, heritability, genetic gain, groundnut.
