Groundnut 250 accessions descriptor characterization during 2024 Rainy
New germplasm acquired from the Niamey regional genebank in Niger has been characterized for descriptor traits during the Post Rainy season of 2023 and the Rainy season of 2024 at ICRISAT in Hyderabad, Patancheru, India. This dataset of descriptor traits will be useful for researchers in selecting and utilizing the information for crop improvement programs aimed at developing improved cultivars.
