Abstract :
The study was conducted to determine the
yield of peanut as affected by different row and hill
spacings. The experiment was done under the soil and
climatic requirements of Zamboanga Sibugay,
Philippines with an average temperature of 27.3 0C. The
experiment was laid using Randomized Complete Block
Design (RCBD) with sixteen combined treatments. An
area of 80 square meters was divided into 16 plots, each
plots measured 1m by 5m excluding canals. There were
two factors used in the study, the different rows and hill
spacings. The row spacing used were R1 (12 inches), R2
(16 inches), R3 (20 inches), R4 (24 inches) and the hill
spacing used were H1 (6 inches), H2 (7 inches), H3 (8
inches), H4 (9 inches). Complete fertilizer was drilled at
the base of the plant 30 days after planting at the rate of
1.83 grams per hill. Tobacco spray was applied twice,
first at 15 DAP and second at 50 DAP and kakawate
spray was applied 43 days from planting to prevent and
repel insect pest. Result revealed that the average
number of pods per plant per plot, average weight of
pods in gram per plant per plot, total number of pods
per plot, and total weight of pods in kilogram per plot
had no significant difference as affected by different
row and hill spacings. However, the result on the
average number of seeds per plant per plot showed that
there is a significant difference among treatments.
Statistical analysis revealed that the computed “f1” is
greater than the tabulated “f1” at 5% level of
significance.
