A field experiment was carried out at Arab Elawamr Research Station
Farm, Oil Crops Department, Assiut Governorate, Agriculture Research Center
(ARC), Egypt, during the summer of 2013 and 2014 seasons. This work aimd to
study the evaluation of some peanut genotypes under two planting methods and
different fertilization levels cultivated in sandy calcareous soil. The experiment
was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) using split-split-plot
arrangement with three replicates. The two planting methods (Farming on the
furrows 60 cm apart and Farming on the terraces each terrace contain two rows
60 cm apart) were assigned to the main plots. The sub – plots were allocated to
three peanut genotypes (Giza 6, Sohag 104 and Sohag 110), while the three fertilization
combination (20 m3 organic/ fed, 10 m3 organic / fed with 50% of the
recommended NPK and 100% recommended NPK ) were placed on sub-subplots.
The results show that the studied planting methods had a significant effect
on most studied traits. Here too, studied genotypes varied significantly in all
studied traits except seed and oil yields in the second season. Moreover, all studied
traits reacted significantly to studied fertilization levels in the two growing
seasons. Also, cultivated Giza 6 genotype by terraces method (M2) received F2
fertilization treatment gained the highest mean values (640.0 and 313.7 kg fed-1)
of seed and oil yields, respectively, in the first season while in the second season
the highest mean values (818.0 and 396.7 kg fed-1) for seed and oil yields, respectively,
were obtained from cultivated Sohage 110 genotype using furrow(
M1) planting methods subjected to F2 fertilization treatment.
