Dear Sir, i am planning to grow ground nut plant near bangalore. Where i can get good ground nut seed near to my place. Please contact 9844887447.
Most of the farmers of Karnataka prefers to grow old Spanish variety -TMV-2 ; GPBD-4 ;Kadiri-9 , ICGV-00351, Dharani , GPBD-5 are other geno type varieties popular among Karnataka farmers .
ICGV 03043 is a new variety of ground nut developed by ICRISAT and Directorate of Groundnut Research , Junagarh , GJ
ICRISAT - DGR claimed ICGV 03043 variety performs much better than best local varieties as it resists leaf spot disease (
tikka) and pests like
Spodoptera moth as the small and narrow leaves are a deterrent for the moth to lay eggs. Its evergreen foliage is also a good source of quality fodder.
ICGV 03043 is more climate resilient as higher pegging (up to 40 against 15) and a slightly longer growing cycle (140 days against 120 days in the post-rainy season) means it has higher chances of recovery.
ICGV 03043 requires less fertiliser and pesticides having the highest oil content of 53% among cultivars grown in India
ICGV 03043 has a 20% lower seed rate i.e. 150 kg of seeds per hectare.
If you are going for a large scale groundnut cultivation then it's better to interact with Directorate of Groundnut Research , University of Agriculture , Raichur , Karnataka to suggest right variety suitable for your agro climatic conditions .
