The research was carried out during 2015 and 2016 seasons at Arab El-Mulk village,
Banias district, in Tartous Governorate, to study the effect of planting peanut seeds
size (mixture, small, medium and large), and spraying plants with bread yeast
(Saccaromyces serevisiae) concentration of (4%) in three treatments (control, once
and twice), on biological yield (BY), Economic yield (EY) and some physiological
indicators; yield index (YI), Harvest index (HI), crop index (CI) and seed index
(SI). The experiment design was set as split plot in a randomized complete block
with four replications. The seeds size considered the main factor, while spraying
yeast allocated the sub plots. The results showed that seed size caused significant
increases in all of the studied indicators. The large seeds gave better values of (BY)
210 g, (HI) 30.56%, (CI) 44.12%, (SI) 74.85 g, except (EY) compared with mix,
small and med seeds. Also the results showed that there were no significant increase
between mixture and medium seed size in (YE) and (HI), but there was a significant
increase in (BY) and (SI), on the other hand the treatments; spray yeast for once and
twice had significant increases compared to the control, and the twice yeast spraying
gave better values (215.22 g ,63.98 g, 29.64%, 42.37 % and 73.45g ) of (BY , EY
,HI, CI and SI) respectively, compared to the control. The interaction between seeds
size and bread yeast spraying caused a significant increase which achieved 15.78 %
in (BY), 23.99 % in (EY), 9.74 in (HI), 13.68% in (CY) and 7.87g in (SI) compared
to the interaction between untreated treatment and small seeds size.
A field experiment was conducted in Agriculture collage –Tishreen University for two years 2011&2012 to evaluate the effect of tillage depths and nitrogen fertilizer timing application on growth productivity indicators and seeds' chemical compositi
on of peanut plant. The experiment was designed in split plots with three replicates. The main plots included shallow tillage (8-10) cm, medium tillage (18- 20) cm and deep tillage (28- 30) cm tillage depths D1, D2, D3 respectively. Timing application (split- plots) were: T1 all nitrogen fertilizer applied at planting ,T2 half nitrogen applied at planting and half at flowering ,T3 all nitrogen fertilizer applied at flowering .Deep tillage caused significant differences and increased leaf area index to (11.93,11.80) for the two seasons respectively . For dry weight/plant were (285.9, 266.6) g for two seasons respectively and seeds index arrived highest values (74.32, 74.53) g for two seasons respectively. Tillage depth increased protein and oil percentage in seeds, but the effect was insignificant. Timing of nitrogen fertilizer had significant effect on leaf area index. The best values were (11.80, 11.60) for two seasons respectively in the treatment T2, and dry weight/plant (283.0, 263.4) g/plant respectively. Significant effect was observed for seeds index. The highest values were (74.41, 74.21) g for two seasons respectively in the treatment T2, so that for protein percentage in seeds arrived highest values (24.35, 25.24) % respectively in the treatment T2. But the highest values of oil percentage were (47.10, 47.21) % for two seasons respectively in the treatmentT3. Interaction (D x T) had significant effect on leaf area index. The best values were (12.53, 12.07) for two season respectively at (D3 x T2) interaction treatments. This interaction had no significant effects on the rest of the indicators
