Background: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the oil and cash crops in Vietnam. However, owing to the lack of appropriate management practices, the production and the area under cultivation of peanut have remained low. Mulches are the key factors contributing to promoting crop development and early harvest and increasing yields. Methods: The experiment consisted of three mulch treatments, viz., plastic mulch, straw mulch and no-mulch control. All the treatments were replicated thrice in a complete randomized block design. Result: In the conditions of mulch, the plant growth parameters (germination rate, growing time, plant height, number of branches per plant), leaf area index, the number of nodules per plant, dry matter accumulation, yield components and yield of peanut was much higher than that of no-mulch control. Among the mulches, plastic mulch was found superior to straw mulch in the pod yields and water-use efficiency and moisture conservation, thereby can be considered as a reliable practice for increasing the productivity of peanut on the coastal sandy land in Nghe An province, Vietnam.

Test of Corn Leaves (Zea mays) Compost and NPK Phonska Fertilizer on Plant Height and Peanut Yield (Arachis hypogaea L.). This study aims to determine the effect of giving corn leaf compost fertilizer and NPK phonska fertilizer and its interactions on the growth and yield of peanuts. The study used a Randomized Block Design with a 4x4 experiment with 2 factorial replications 3 times. The first factor is the dose of compost of corn leaf compost consisting of 4 levels, namely: o0 (control), o1 (100 g / plant), o2 (200 g / plant), o3 (300 g / plant). The second factor is the NPK fertilizer dosage consisting of 4 levels, namely: k0 (control), k1 (5 g / plant), k2 (10 g / plant), k3 (15 g / plant). The results showed that the treatment of corn leaf compost did not have a significant effect on plant height at 30.60, and 90 days after planting, pod weight and number of pods. Phonska NPK fertilizer does not have a significant effect on plant height at 30, 60, and 90 days after planting, but it has a significant effect on the number of pods and pod weight. The interaction between the compost dose of corn leaf compost and NPK phonska had no significant effect on plant height, pod weight and number of pods.

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of treatment of fertilization time and dosage of nitrogen to the growth and yield of peanut plants. This experiment is a two-factor experiment with incomplete randomized block design. The first factor is the time (S) of fertilizer consisting of three levels: During planting (S0), 15 days after planting (S1), 30 days after planting (S2), The second factor is the dosage of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer consisting of three levels: 25 kg/ha (N1), 50 kg/ha (N2). The results showed that treatment of fertilization time and a dose of nitrogen showed no significant effect on plant height, maximum leaf number, leaf area index, the total pod containing, total void pod, total pod number, oven dry weight of oven plants, and harvesting index. The interaction of nitrogen dose with a time of fertilization gave a very real effect to most observed variables except for maximum plant height, maximum leaf number, leaf area, harvest index that is not significant. The high dry weight of seed oven per plant was obtained at the fertilizer interaction treatment at 15 days after planting and the dose of nitrogen 25 kg/ha was 30.33 g and or increased by 152.75% and when compared with the control of 12.00 g. From a result of regression analysis got an optimum dose of nitrogen fertilizer that is 34.15 kg/ha with the dry weight of oven seeds per plant maximum 26.73 g. Keywords: Fertilization time, nitrogen dosage, peanut result

Drought stress is one of abiotic stresses and has caused a significant deterioration in growth and yield of patchouli. This research was conducted in Reuleut Timu Village, Muara Batu District, Aceh Utara Regency, from July to December 2016, using split plot design in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The main plot was mulch treatments (without mulch, rice straw mulch and black silver plastic mulch). The subplots were treated with different frequency of fertilizer application (once, twice and three times). The results revealed that the application of rice straw mulch has reduced the effects of drought stress, suppressed the soil temperature fluctuations, maintained soil moisture, which resulted in an increase of patchouli growth. Different frequency of fertilizer application did improve the oil yield, proline accumulation and drought resistance.

Background: Understanding the effects of different plant densities and row spacing on yield and yield components of peanut L14 is essential for designing and adjusting management practices to improve yield. Methods: Five planting densities were tested in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in 2019 spring crop on the coastal sandy land area in Dien Chau district, Nghe An, Vietnam. Result: The different density treatments affect the growth, development and yield of the peanut variety L14. With increasing plant density, the number of pod per plant, 100 pods weight, 100 seeds weight decreased, whereas plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production increased. Population yield increased with increasing plant density from the lowest density of 25 plants m-2 (2.78 tons ha-1), reached the highest at 35 plants m-2 (4.53 tons ha-1), then decreasing with increasing plant density. Peanut variety L14 is grown in plant densities and row spacing of 35 plants m-2 (25 cm × 25 cm) and 40 plants m-2 (25 cm × 20 cm) are most appropriate; plants grow, develop better and give a higher yield than other densities under the same conditions.

The Effect of Trichoderma spp. on Growth, Yield, and Presence of the Diseases in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The consumption of peanuts is increasing together with increasing population, increasing nutrition, food diversification and increasing the capacity of the food and animal feed industry. However, the supply of peanuts in Indonesia is continues decline due to low soil nutrients and leaf rust attacks. The efforts can be made to increase peanut productions by applying Trichoderma spp. in peanut seeds. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Trichoderma spp. on the growth and yield of peanut plants, identifying the effect of Trichoderma spp. on the resistance of peanut plants to disease and know the best type of Trichoderma spp. for peanut plants. The design used in this study was a randomized block design (RCBD) with the treatment of a single factor type Tricoderma spp. which consists of 7 levels, namely: control, T. koningii, T. viride, T.asperellum, T. harzianum, T. ressei and T. asperellum Bedugul Bali. The treatment was repeated 4 times. The experimental results showed that the treatment of Trichoderma spp. significant until very significant effect on most of the observation variables. The best Trichoderma spp. is T. asperellum which has a very significant effect on the total number of pods (24.25 pods), weight of pods contained/plant (62.43 g), number of seeds/plant (62.75 seeds), and lowest leaf rust intensity (34,51%).
