An attempt to evolve a groundnut variety with superior yield, high oil content and resistant to abiotic and biotic stresses has resulted in the isolation of a promising culture ALG 56. It is a pureline selection from ICGV 86011 (DH 3-20 x USA 20) (NCAC 2232). This bunch groundnut matures in 105 days and is suitable for Chitraipattam (April). It out yielded the checks Co 2 and VRI 2 with substanted yield and field tolerance to diseases and pests. High oil content of 52% and a seed dormancy period of 15 days are the additional advantages of this variety. It is a good quality fodder too. Hence it was released as ALR 2 for rainfed and irrigated conditions of Pollachi tract.
