The Effect of Drought Stress on Growth and Yield of Peanut Crop in Tartous


Abstract in English

This research was conducted during 2014 season at Miaar Shaker plains in Tartous region, to study the effect of applied drought stress for 24 days in 4 growth stages of peanut crop, i.e., 1. Brunching stage, 2. Flower initialing stage, 3. Pod formation stage, 4. Seed formation stage, beside of control (full irrigation by 12 days intervals). And effect of these treatments on some growth attributes and yield to peanut genotype (Sahel).
