QUALITY CHARACTERS OF GROUNDNUT KERNEL AS INFLUENCED BY MEPIQUAT CHLORIDE (MC)

Abstract

Investigations were carried out to study the effect of Mepiquat Chloride (1. 1- dimethyl piperidinium chloride) on certain quality characters of groundnut kernel. Foliar application of MC on 35 days after sowing increased the oil content by 4.6 per cent. Carbohydrate content decreased, and protein content showed no significant change in response to MC.

Keywords: Mepiquat chloride, Kernel, Groudnut quality.
