Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of various levels of phosphorus and hilling up on yield and some yield components of peanut (Arachis Hypogaea Linn.)

Bean yield, dry pot yield, shelling percentage, percent productive pods, 100-seed weight and number of pods per plant were not significantly affected by hilliping up. Harvest index per plant was, however, significantly influenced by hilling up. Frequent heavy rains that occurred during the experiment period caused the delay in hilling up and also washed off the soil thrown to the base of the plants. The soil, was also compacted made difficult for the pegs to fully develop.

The different yield components and the yield per were not significantly affected by the level of phosphorus, probably because the amount of available phosphorus in the soil was sufficient to supply the plants’ phosphorus requirement.
