Physiological and Physical Quality of Seeds from Peanut Seeds and Plants under the Influence of Fertilizer and Biostimulant

Abstract

The foliar application and seed Ca + B, Mo + P and Stimulate? in peanut, despite being a practice used long ago, few studies have conclusive results, and then this research was to evaluate the physical and physiological quality peanut seeds from the process of application of fertilizers and bio-stimulant. The design was completely randomized, with seed from peanut plants subjected to the use of three products (Ca + B; Mo + P and Stimulate?), two types of applications (via leaf and seeds), growing with PK and absolute control, following a factorial arrangement of [(3 × 2) + 2]. For the dimensions (length and width) of seeds, as well as the thousand seed weight and number of seeds per pod, data were submitted to descriptive statistics, calculating the mean, standard deviation, variance and coefficient of variation of the data obtained. The application of fertilizers, bio-stimulants and groundnut seeds increases germination of seeds produced, causes more seedlings that are vigorous and reduces the percentage of abnormal seedlings.
