Let K be a field of characteristic p>0, G a finite p-solvable group, P a p-Sylow subgroup of G of order pa, KG the group algebra of G over K, and J(KG) the Jacobson radical of KG. In the present paper we study the nilpotency index t(G) of J(KG), which is the least positive integer t with J(KG)t= 0. Since J(EG) = E⊗KJ(KG) for any extension field E of K (cf. [7, Proposition 12.11]), we may assume that K is algebraically closed.
