| Field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm Department of Field Crop Science, Collage of Agriculture , University of Baghdad during the seasons of 2010, 2011 to effect of planting methods and spacing between plants in growth and yield of peanut. A factorial arrangement in RCBD design with four replications with two factors, the first one: three planting methods (planting on East, West, Twin rows) and the second factor: four spacing between plants (15, 25, 35, 45 cm). The results showed that the planting method on east gave highest plant pod yield(57.65, 45.14) g.plant-1 and seed yield( 32.25, 25.16) g. plant-1 for both season, respectively. The lowest plant density 45 cm between plants gave highest plant pod yield(66.85, 57.40) g.plant-1 and seed yield(36.05, 31.07) g. plant-1 for both season, respectively. the planting method on west and the low plant density 45 cm gave the highest of plant pod yield and seed yield (75.35 , 40.87)for the first season. While The planting method on twin row with the high plant density 15 cm gave highest plant pod yield and seed yield (27.15, 16.27)for the first season. |
