THE INFLUENCE OF SEED SIZE AND SOWING DEPTH ON THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF PEANUTS
Keywords:
Arachis hypogaea L., sowing, seedlings, early developmentAbstract
Seed size and sowing depth directly influence the initial development of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.). This study aimed to evaluate the influence of seed size and sowing depth on the initial development of peanuts. The experimental design was in a 2x5 factorial scheme, with the first factor consisting of small seeds weighing between 170 and 485 mg and large seeds weighing between 486 and 800 mg, interacting with five depths: one, two, four, eight and 12 cm, totaling 10 treatments and four replicates, totaling 40 plots or pots. The seed weighing between 486 and 800 mg showed the best initial development of the peanut crop. The peanut showed best development when sown at a depth of between 5.0 and 6.0 cm. Sowing above 12 cm negatively interferes with the initial development regardless of the seed size in the peanut crop.
