e0“A field experiment was carried out at EL-Bostan Agricultural Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Damanhur University, EL-Behira Governorate, Egypt, during two successive summer seasons 2020 and 2021 to investigate the effect of foliar application of potassium, silicon, and selenium on some growth characteristics, chemical properties, yield, and some related traits of the peanut crop (Arachis hypogea L.)”
e3“The highest values of pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant, and pod yield (ard/fed) were observed when the peanut was irrigated after a 50% depletion ratio with silicon foliar application. The best shelling percentage was achieved with potassium under a 70% depletion ratio. The treatment with silicon under a 60% depletion ratio recorded the heaviest 100-pod weight and 100-seed weight”

- Intervention effect Increasing the water depletion ratio from 50% to 70% significantly decreased all peanut traits except shelling percentage.
- Intervention effect Potassium foliar application produced the highest plant height and number of branches per plant.
- Intervention effect Silicon treatment gave the highest pod yield per plant and seed yield per plant.
- Intervention effect Silicon treatment gave the highest shelling percentage, 100-pod weight and 100-seed weight.
- Intervention effect Silicon treatment gave the highest pod yield.
- Intervention effect Silicon foliar application under irrigation after a 50% depletion ratio gave the highest pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant and pod yield (ard/fed).
- Intervention effect Potassium under a 70% depletion ratio gave the best shelling percentage.
- Intervention effect Selenium treatment led to high chlorophyll contents.
- Intervention effect The highest chlorophyll content was achieved with selenium under irrigation after 70% depletion of available soil moisture.
- Intervention effect Potassium foliar application under irrigation after a 50% depletion ratio recorded significant values of plant height and number of branches.
- Intervention effect Silicon, potassium or selenium treatment reduces crop losses when peanut is under water stress.
- Intervention effect Silicon, potassium or selenium treatment increases peanut plant tolerance to stressful water conditions.
