Fresh seed dormancy in bunch type groundnut has a significant influence on pod yield, oil and protein quality. It is required to avoid economic loss in the form of in-situ germination during unpredictable rainfall at maturity. A study was carried out using 32 bunch type groundnut genotypes and 5 groundnut cultivars to identify fresh seed dormant genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed that significant genotypic differences for germination percent. Character Association studies showed that significant correlation coefficients between duration of fresh seed dormancy and intensity of fresh seed dormancy. | Identification of fresh seed dormancy in bunch type groundnut genotypes (Arachis hypogaea L.)
