Summary

The response of groundnut plants to CCC was investigated by applying concentrations of 0, 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm three times as a foliar spray. CCC at 500 ppm gave more kernels, and heavier yields of pods, kernels and oil, than 1000 or 1500 ppm or the control treatment. Application of CCC resulted in a greater percentage of shell and of moisture in the whole pod than in the control.
