Summary

Two experiments were made in each of the seasons 1971/72 and 1972/73 to determine the effect of seed treatment on groundnut emergence.

In one of the experiments, groundnut seed germinated at a faster rate when the seed was dressed with Aldrex T at 2·2 g/kg of seed.

In the other experiment, no difference in emergence was found between varieties whether planting was on the same day as shelling or 12 weeks after shelling.
