Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University at Ismailia during 2009 and 2010 seasons to study the effect of four irrigation intervals (every 6, 8, 10 and 12 days) and four foliar spraying treatments namely micronutrients mixture, 8 and 4 ppm ascorbic acid as well as water (control) on yield, its attributes and quality of peanut Giza 6 variety in sandy soils.
Decreasing irrigation intervals from 12 to 6 days significantly increased plant height, number and weight of pods and seeds / plant, 100-seed weight, seed oil percentage as well as straw, pod, seed and oil yields / fad. While number of branches / plant and number of seeds/pod were not affected.
Foliar application of micronutrients mixture significantly surpassed the other spraying treatments in number of seeds / plant, dry weight of pods and seeds / plant, 100-seed weight, seed oil percentage as well as pod, seed and oil yields / fad, while the highest straw yield / fad was achieved by spraying 8 ppm ascorbic acid.
In the combined data, there was significant interaction between irrigation intervals and spraying with micronutrients mixture and ascorbic acid on100-seed weight as well as straw, pod and seed yields / fad. The highest pod yield / fad was produced by irrigation every 6 days and spraying with micronutrients mixture. Meanwhile, irrigation every 6 days with the maximum level of ascorbic acid gave higher straw yield
