Question

Which one of the following is not a Spanish bunch variety of ground nut?

• A. GJG 9
• B. TG 37 A
• C. Girnar 3
• D. Girnar 2

Hint:

Groundnut varieties are classified by growth habit (e.g., bunch vs. runner) and pod/kernel traits. Spanish bunch types are erect and mature early. Identifying a "non-Spanish bunch" from a list of improved varieties can be tricky as many modern bunch types are based on Spanish germplasm. Look for traits or parentage that might differentiate one.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: GJG 9, Girnar 2 and Girnar 3 are all released Spanish bunch groundnut varieties.
Step 2: TG 37 A has notably bold, large seeds, a Virginia-type trait, despite its bunch growth habit.
Step 3: Bold seed size classifies it as Virginia bunch, not Spanish bunch.
Step 4: Correct option: \( \boxed{\text{TG 37 A}} \).
