PEMANFAATAN SUBSPESIES hypogaea DALAM PERAKITAN VARIETAS UNGGUL KACANG TANAH (Arachis hypogaea L.) BERBIJI BESAR DAN BERPOLONG BANYAK DI INDONESIA

ABSTRACT:  The bigger pod and seed size the higher yield of peanut. The objective of this study was to evaluate agronomic characters especially the size of pods and seeds of peanut lines in subspecies (ssp.) hypogaea and F5 families derived from crossing between NC 7 and Kelinci. In this study, two experiments were reported. The first experiment evaluated 10 lines of ssp. hypogaea using completely randomized block design with six replications. The second experiment evaluated 22 F5 families derived from crosses between NC 7 and Kelinci using completely randomized block  design with three replications. Nine of ten lines ssp. hypogaea evaluated in Experiment I showed at least one superior trait in pod or seed size. 
The result showed that early Bunch was superior in 10-seed length, 100-seed weight, the number of mature pods, and pod weight per pod. NC 7 was superior in 10-pod width and 100-seed weight. Based on the results of Experiment II, NC 7 and F5 family of  NC 7 / K – 3 were superior in the number of pegs and  total pods. The families F5 NC 7 / K - 5, NC 7 / K – 14, and NC 7 / K -16 were superior in the pod and seed sizes. Those lines and families can be  used as the donor parents in sexual hybridization.  The families F5 NC 7 / K - 5, NC 7 / K – 14, and NC 7 / K -16 can be further evaluated to develop high-yielding and large-seeded peanut.
Key words:  Plant breeding, peanut, large-seeded peanut, ssp. Hypogaea
