Assessment of Groundnut Elite Lines under Drought Conditions and Selection of Tolerance Associated Traits

Table 1

Pod and haulm weight of groundnut genotypes under well-watered (WW) and water-stressed (WS) treatments in 2017 (year 1) and 2018 (year 2). G= genotypes, W = water regimes, and Y= year. = significant at 5% level. ns = not significant at 5% level. Means with the same letter are not significantly different within the same treatment by Duncan’s multiple range test.
