Effects of maturity and seed size on seed vigor and plant growth in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
… was about 55%. A drop in seed fresh weight and a pod color change from green to yellow appear to signal the stage of PM. Delaying harvest past HM reduced seed vigor. The three cultivars with colored seed coats showed higher seed vigor than Provider White. Climatic and weathering effects on …

Leveraging genomic mapping and QTL analysis to enhance drought tolerance of cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
… drought stress. Drought negatively impacts the yield and quality of peanut. Drought stress in peanut causes an annual loss of approximately $520 million in the United States. Improving peanut yield under water deficit conditions is crucial for peanut growers to maintain their profitability in …

The Physiological Impacts of Soil Alkalising Agents on Legumes.
… optimise nutrient availability and subsequent yield. Additionally, industrial by-products that typically have been regarded as waste are being increasingly used as alternatives to traditional fertiliser sources. One of these, cement kiln dust (CKD), is a potential liming agent and potassium …

Physiological and Metabolic Responses to Water-deficit and Heat Stress of Virginia-type Peanut Cultivars and Breeding Lines
… episodes with significant effects on peanut yield was observed in the VC region. Because limited information is available on the mechanisms virginia-type peanut develops in response to heat and water stress, the present study evaluated several physiological and metabolic characteristics and …

Assessment of farmer preferences, constraints and angro-morphological variation among Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) accessions as a basis for seed yield selection index
… susceptibility to insects and the use of low yielding, unimproved cultivar. Results further indicated that many farmers had different Bambara groundnut preferences, such as large seed size and high yield cultivar. The second objective focused on the evaluation of local and exotic Bambara …
