Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Root dry matter weight of peanut was significantly higher in sandy and loam soils than in clay soil.
- Observation In clay soil, the root system of peanut was mainly distributed in the shallow soil layer.
- Observation In clay soil, the decrease of root activity in the upper layers was slower in the late growth period.
- Intervention effect Sandy soil was helpful for the root system of peanut to grow to the deeper soil layer.
- Intervention effect Sandy soil favored enlargement of the peanut pod.
- Intervention effect Dry matter accumulation of peanut pod in sandy soil was earlier and faster.
- Intervention effect Dry matter accumulation in the later growth period was less in sandy soil.
- Observation In loam soil, dry matter accumulation of peanut pod was mainly concentrated in middle and later periods.
- Intervention effect Clay soil was not suitable for dry matter accumulation of peanut pod in the entire growth period.
- Intervention effect Pod yield, kernel yield and available pod number were largest in loam soil, second in sandy soil and lowest in clay soil.
- Recommendation The authors suggest loam soil, with mid-levels of aeration and water and fertilizer conservation, is most suitable for the growth and yield of peanut.
