Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Natural dormancy in bunch cultivars can reduce yield losses from viviparous germination for 3-4 weeks.
- Recommendation The authors recommend inducing at least three weeks of seed dormancy to prevent harvest pod losses.
- Intervention effect Foliar chemical treatments are reported to induce seed dormancy in standing groundnut crops.
- Association Virginia types show variable dormancy duration compared with bunch cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors recommend genetic modification to introduce dormancy into non-dormant cultivars.
