Increasing groundnut yield by seed-treatment chemicals and Bradyrhizobium inoculation
1993
Adu, J.K. | Misari, S.M.
Trials were conducted in 1986 under rainfed and irrigated conditions to evaluate the effect of seed-treatment chemicals and Bradyrhizobium inoculation on the performance of groundnut at Samaru, Nigeria. The highest germination percentage (76.8 %) was obtained by applying 1 % Promet 405D plus 0.11 % Thiram R. Nodule initiation was improved by the application of either 2 % Marshall 25ST or 1.1 % Promet 405D. Application of 1.5 kg/ha Furadan 3GR resulted in the highest mean pod yield of 1535 kg/ha. The chemical was most effective against rosette disease. Bradyrhizobium inoculation improved germination, the number of initial nodules, and pod yield but had no effect on dry weight of nodules
