Description:
Naronut 2T was selected from a cross between ICRISAT lines ICGV-SM 86715 and Serenut 2 (ICGV-SM 90704). ICGV-SM 86715 was derived from a cross between Makulu Red and a tetraploid interspecific backcross derivative [(Samaru 38 x Arachis chacoense) x Samaru 61] and has resistance to early and late leafspot diseases and rust. Serenut 2 is a derivative of a cross between RG-1 and ManiPintar. Serenut 2 is drought tolerant with resistance to Groundnut rosette disease and leafspot diseases.
