Effects of Different Zinc and Iron Doses on Yield and Some Yield Components of NC-7 Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

This study was conducted to determine the effects of the different doses of zinc and iron on the yield and some yield properties of nc-7 peanut (arachis hypogaea l.) under çukurova ecological conditions in 2017 growing season. the experiment was set up in two-factors factorial design with 3 replications. in the study, different doses of zinc and iron applied to soil had statistically significant effects (at the level of p<0,05 and p<0,01) on pod yield (kg/da), kernel ratio (%), 100 seed weight (g), the ratio of first-quality fruits (%) and the ratio of the second-quality fruits (%).the pod yield varied between 252,4 kg/da and 634,1 kg/da in different doses of zinc and iron applied to the soil. in the study, zn3xfe1 (4 kg/da zn x 1 kg/da fe) interaction was determined to be the most suitable treatment accounting in pod yield (kg / da), kernel ratio (%), 100 seed of weight (g).
