B.Sc.Ag. (Hons) Part-IV     Production Technology of Groundnut. https://cststudy.blogspot.com/ Production Technology of Groundnut    Common name: Groundnut/ Peanut/ Monkeynut.  Scientific name: Arachis hypogaea .  Family: Solanaceae.  Groundnut is an important oil seed crop. It is also best edible oil crop. Although the quality of groundnut oil is superior to mustard oil but it is not popular in our country as cooking oil because of its consumption habit. It is mainly consumed as roosted nut and as a confectionary item.  Origin  The primary center of origin are southern Bolivia and northern Argentina. The secondary center of diversity are other South American countries like Peru, Brazil.  Variety  BARI China badam 5, BARI China badam 6, BARI China badam 7, BARI China badam 8, BARI China badam 9, Dhaka 1, DG 2, DM 1 (Tridana), Acc 12 etc.  Climate   •         Groundnut is essentially a tropical plant and requires warm growing season.   

B.Sc.Ag. (Hons) Part-IV     Production Technology of Grasspea. https://cststudy.blogspot.com/ Production Technology of Grasspea   Scientific name: Lathyrus sativus L.  Family: Leguminosae.  Importance  Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a crop of immense economic significance, especially in developing nations including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Ethiopia. It serves a variety of purposes including food, feed and fodder, owing in part to its nutritive qualities. Prior to domestication, the crop was presumably present as a weed among other pulse crops.   Origin   The origin of Lathyrus sativus is unknown; However, its presumed center of origin is south west and Central Asia (Smartt, 1990). Its chromosome complement is 2n = 2x = 14.  Variety  BARI khesari 1, BARI khesari 2, BARI khesari 3, BARI khesari 4.  Climate  Grass pea, inherently capable of withstanding temperature extremes is grown across diverse regions that receive an a

B.Sc.Ag. (Hons) Part-IV     Production Technology of Pea. https://cststudy.blogspot.com/ Production Technology of Pea Botanical Name: Pisum sativum L.  Family: Leguminosae.  Importance  Pea is an important vegetable and generally cultivated for its green pods. It is highly nutritive and is rich in protein. It is used as a vegetable or in soup, canned frozen or dehydrate. It is cooked as a vegetable along or with potatoes. Split grains of pea are widely used for dal. Pea straw is a nutritious fodder.  Variety  BARI motor 1 is the high yielding variety in Bangladesh.
