Abstract

Objective: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual oilseed and proteinous crop whose production is mainly affected by genotype × environment interactions, making it hard to select superior genotypes. The multi-trait selection indices have been used to choose genotypes based on multiple traits.
Methods: In this study, 11 groundnut genotypes were evaluated based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in three locations, Talesh, Masal, and Rasht, Guilan province, Iran, during two growing seasons (2019-2020 and 2020-2021). Variance components were estimated using the restricted maximum likelihood method, and factor analysis was applied to grouping the traits. Multi-trait genotype-ideotype distance index (MGIDI) and ideal genotype selection index (IGSI) were calculated to select superior genotypes using 16 agronomical characteristics.
Results: Although by considering the 30% selection intensity, the genotypes selected by the MGIDI and IGSI indices in the three locations were somewhat different, the ICG192 groundnut genotype was selected as a superior genotype in all three areas based on both MGIDI and IGSI indices.
Conclusion: The results revealed relative compliance between the MGIDI and IGSI indices in the selection of superior genotypes, and they may be used for genotype selection based on multiple traits.
