Abstract:
A decrease in net photosynthesis (P n ) in leaves of main shoot with age ( 7 ‐28 days after opening) at two stages of peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L. var. M‐13 ) reproductive growth (70 and 90 DAS) is reported. P n rate decreased with advance in age of leaves, the decline was rapid during peak period of pod filling (90 DAS). Foliar application with aliphatic alcohols, maintained the chlorophyll content and enhanced PEP carboxylase activity. The present studies suggest that aliphatic alcohols enhance functional capabilities of leaf for a larger duration and hence maintain the supply of photoassimilates to the developing kernels of peanut leading to increased yield.
