Contribution to growth/development in Arachis hypogaea L

The present work marks our introduction to research as part of our Master''s thesis Option: Life and Earth Sciences.For this purpose observations were made on emergence neoformation of aerial apparatus organs and pod development from basal seeds of two- three- and four-lodge pods; they were carried out on two varieties A and B (Designated by default) of Arachis hypogaea L. over a period of 91 days. These varieties differ in tegument color pale pink for A and dark pink for B.This study assessed their emergence (time and rate) the production of aerial organs (leaves flowers and gynophores) and the yield in kg/ha of pods*. Differences and similarities were observed. Seed emergence ranged from 6 days (for AIII.3 AIV.4 and BII.2 seeds) to 8 days (for BIII.3 and BIV.4 seeds). The emergence rate of variety A was 93.75% higher than that of variety B which was 83.25% higher.
