Effect of planting distances and nitrogen fertilization on yield of Arachis Hypogaea L.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research was conducted to evaluate the effect of three planting distances (60 cm x 30 cm, 50 cm x 25 cm and 45 cm x 18 cm) and three doses of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 30 and 60 kg N ha-1) on the yield of peanut crop variety INIAP 382. A completely randomized block design with a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement was applied. The planting material and experimental methodology were provided by the Department of Oilseeds of the Instituto Nacional Autónomo de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (National Autonomous Institute of Agricultural Research). The statistical analysis was carried out with InfoStat software, using Tukey's 5% significance tests, considering the following variables: plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, weight of 100 seeds, yield (kg ha-1) and economic analysis. The results obtained show that the highest yield is obtained with a planting distance of 45 cm between rows and 18 cm between plants (3928.05 kg ha-1); however, the highest benefit-cost ratio is achieved by planting at 60 cm between rows and 30 cm between plants (3.01), in both cases applying 30 kg N ha-1; in addition, both factors have a significant influence on the yield of the peanut crop under these agroecological conditions. However, it is necessary to evaluate the adaptation of this variety in other locations and to consider that soil moisture is in the optimum range to achieve the best use of nitrogen fertilizer by the plants.
