Abstract

This germplasm line is adapted to low-input rainfed areas where rust (Puccinia arachidis) and late leaf spot (Mycosphaerella berkeleyi) are problems. It originated from a single plant selection in an F3 population of a cross between the Spanish type variety Argentine and the rust and late leaf spot resistant PI259747. It possesses resistance to many diseases including Sclerotium [Corticium] rolfsii, and insect pests. It consistently outyielded the popular Indian cultivars JL24, TMV2 and J11 in trials during 1983-85. Growth period is over 110 days (rainy season). Recovery from mid-season drought is good, and shelling turnover is 64%. The tan-coloured seeds contain 48% oil and 28% protein.
