“…As such, all genotypes were clustered around being inconsistently superior and consistently inferior. The above observation is also in agreement with the fact that groundnut yield traits are variable and their response depends not only on the genetic but also largely influenced by the environmental variation (Mothilal et al, 2010;Songsri et al, 2008;Minde et al, 2017).…”

Groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are the second most important legume crops after beans, an important source of protein (23 to 25%), fats/oils (40 to 52%) and carbohydrates (10 to 20 %) and widely grown and consumed in Uganda including the Lake Albert Crescent Zone (LACZ). Due to susceptibility of local varieties to groundnut rosette, National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) through the National Semi Arid Resources Research Institute (NaSARRI) developed and released the serenut varieties. Adaptive trials were therefore established in the LACZ, to select the most location specific adapted varieties for promotion in this ecologically diverse zone. Four serenut varieties namely serenut 5, 8, 10 and 14 and a locally grown variety (Red beauty) were planted on three farmers' fields in each of the three sub-ecological areas. Data were collected on total pod dry weight (yield), number of pods and on 100 seed weight. In this study, we show that overall yields of serenut 5, serenut 14, serenut 8 and serenut 10 were highly significantly (P < 0.001) different for all traits measured across the subecological areas. Best yields were recorded from the humid tropical rain forest sub-ecological area where 1900 kg/ha were obtained for serenut 14, 2366 kg/ha for serenut 10, 1763 kg/ha for serenut 8 and 1795 kg/ha for serenut 5. The yields obtained from these varieties were generally worst in the semi-arid sub-ecological area. These serenut varieties are generally adapted to wider environmental conditions although their performance per se was found to be generally inconsistent. This study has also found that among all the varieties tested, Serenut 5 was the best adapted across all the sub-ecologies. Overall, we therefore recommend farmers in this ecologically diverse zone to grow these groundnut varieties with improved growing practices such as timely planting, timely weeding, earthing up and pest and disease management in order to obtain consistent high yields.

“…High heritability estimates indicate that the selection for these characters will be effective, being less influenced by environmental effects (Maniee et al, 2009). Heritability, a measure of the phenotypic variance attributable to genetic causes, has predictive function in breeding crops (Songsri et al, 2008). It also provides an estimate of the genetic advance a breeder can expect from selection applied to a population under certain environment (Khan and Naqvi, 2011).…”

ABSTRACT:Fertilizer treatments consisting of cyanobacteria blue-green algae (BGA, Anabaena sp.) combined with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were compared with untreated control rice variety Chainat 1 in greenhouse and field experiments from December 2011 to March 2012. In the greenhouse experiment, application of BGA resulted in significantly higher phosphorus and potassium in seeds compared with the untreated control. BGA significantly increased seed weight, and the difference was 16% compared to 47% between application of NPK 16-16-8 + NPK 46-0-0 (125 kg/ha) of chemical fertilizer and untreated control. In field experiments, the differences between BGA and untreated control for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in seeds and straws were not significant, and application of NPK 16-16-8 + NPK 46-0-0 of chemical fertilizer was highest for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in seeds and straws. Application of NPK 16-16-8 + NPK 46-0-0 of chemical fertilizer gave the highest straw dry weight, total dry weight, and seed weight, but the treatments gave similar 1000-seed weight. Application of BGA clearly increased growth and yield of rice in a greenhouse, but the effects were not clear in the field. This information is useful for organic rice production.
