Pegging in groundnut explained in 60 seconds (Hinglish) | Agronomy MCQ for AFO | IBPS AFO Mains 2026 • Pegging is a unique reproductive phenomenon in groundnut where the fertilized ovary forms a peg that bends downward and penetrates the soil surface for underground pod development. • Flowering phase occurs from 26 to 60 days, followed by maturity phase from 61 to 105 days. • Flowering, pegging, and pod development phases are critical stages for irrigation requiring adequate soil moisture. • At pegging stage, 1 or 2 irrigations are applied, while pod development stage requires 2 to 3 irrigations. • Spraying 0.5% potassium chloride during flowering and pod development mitigates the ill effects of water stress.
