Yield Response of Groundnut Genotypes under the Sub-mountainous Conditions of Malakand Division (NWFP), Pakistan
Ayub Khan, M. Rahim, Amjad Khan and M. Idrees Khan

Abstract: Field experiments on 12 groundnut genotypes were carried out at three different locations of Malakand Division. Significant differences were noted for maturity duration, pod plant -1, kernel pod -1, shelling%, 100-kernel weight and pod yield, among the locations, genotypes and location X genotype interaction. Maturity was earlier at Cheena, with minimum pod plant -1 and kernel pod -1. Among the genotypes, PG-931 and PI-338337 were earliest in maturity. PG-931 also had maximum pods plant -1 whereas PI-338337 had maximum kernel pod -1. 100-kernel weight was higher at Cheena. PG-951 (74.91%) and PG-864 (74.12%) produced maximum shelling % at all the locations. The highest pod yield of 3167 Kg ha -1 and 2750 kg ha -1 were recorded at Mingora and Cheena, respectively. Among the genotypes, PG-931 produced the maximum yield of 3685 Kg ha -1, whereas minimum yield of 1583 kg ha -1 was recorded for the check variety, Swat Phalli-96.
