Growth and yield performance of Bambara groundnut advanced line and introduced accessions grown in the rainy season in the South of Thailand

Abstract

Result showed that the days to 50% flowering among four bambara groundnut genotypes ranged from 31.75 days to 34.25 days and days to harvest ranged from 93 days to 125 days. TVsu 89 had the lowest days to 50% flowering of 31.75 days and days to harvest of 93 days. TVsu 89 had lower agronomic traits than check variety (Songkhla 1), but it was not different from check variety for fresh pod yield and dry pod yield. Correlation analysis indicated that harvest index was positively and significantly associated with fresh pod yield and dry pod yield.
