Abstract

Background & Objectives: Several strategies have been suggested for improving the quantitative and qualitative yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), among which the application of starter nitrogen and methanol plays a key role in yield improvements. In this ‎regard, the aims of this study was to investigate the effects of starter nitrogen and foliar‏ ‏application with ‎methanol on nodulation, grain filling components and quantitative and qualitative yield of peanut (Goli cultivar).
 
Materials and Methods: experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the farm at Parsabad of Moghan from Ardabil province in 2022. Factors experimental were included application of methanol at three levels (foliar application with water as control, application 20 and 40 volume percent) and starter nitrogen rates at three levels (no application as control, application of 25 and 50 kg/ha) by urea
 
Results: The results showed that application of 50 kg/ha starter nitrogen increased the number and dry weight of nodules per plant (69.5 and 55%, respectively), protein content, linoleic acid and oleic acid (13.2, 16.8 and 14.7%) in comparison with control. Also, foliar application of 40 volume percent of methanol increased the number of and dry weight of nodules per plant (28.5 and 27.7%, respectively) in comparison with control. Maximum of oil content (45.5%) was obtained in application of 25 kg/ha starter nitrogen. Hovewer, there wasn’t significant difference in oil content between control (no application) and application of 25 kg/ha starter nitrogen. Palmitic acid content decreased with starter nitrogen application. But, there wasn’t significant difference between no application and 25 kg/ha starter nitrogen. Application of 50 kg/ha of starter nitrogen and foliar application of 40 volume percent methanol increased rate and grain filling period (87 and 40, respectively) and grain yield (52%) in comparison with no application of starter nitrogen and methanol.
 
Conclusion: Based on these results, it seems that application of 50 kg/ha starter nitrogen and foliar application of 40 volume percent of methanol can be suggested for improve of grain yield.
