Korelasi Genetik Berbagai Karakter Populasi Tanaman Kacang Tanah (Arachis Hypogaea L.) Pada Berbagai Kerapatan Tanam
ABSTRACT
Peanut is a vital food crop used in food preparations, the food industry, and animal feed. Peanut production in Indonesia remains low, requiring improvement through plant breeding. This study examined the relationship between growth traits, yield components, and total yield in various peanut genotypes to identify traits suitable as selection criteria for yield improvement. Conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Riau, the study used six peanut varieties at three planting densities in a randomized block design with three replications. Results showed high variability and heritability in traits such as flowering time, maturity, plant height, seed number and weight, and 100-seed weight, making them potential initial selection criteria. Some traits had significant positive genetic correlations with yield components, while others showed negative correlations. Careful selection criteria are crucial for effective and efficient breeding of high-yield genotypes. Breeding programs should focus on traits with broad genetic diversity and high heritability. For early generation selection, the number of pods, pod weight, and seed weight per plant are practical alternatives.
