Abstract
Growth and yield of peanut variety NSIC Pn17 as affected by seed priming using
different sources of calcium (T0-No seed priming, T1-Seeds soaked in Water, T2-Seeds
soaked in CaCl solution, T3-Seeds soaked in CaNO3- solution, and T4-Seeds soaked in
CaCO3 solution) was conducted to determine which among the priming treatments
produced the highest growth and yield of peanut employing Randomized Complete Block
Design (RCBD) in four blocks. It was conducted at Agricultural Technology Center Farm
of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Bacnotan, La Union from
December 10, 2015 to March 8, 2016 with an area of 188.16 sq m.
Based on the results of the study, peanut seeds soaked in water significantly had
the most plants survived, produced the heaviest fresh and dried pods, highest bean yield
and highest shelling percentage. However, also peanut seeds soaked in different sources
of calcium performed comparably in terms of plant height at maturity and number of pods
per plant.
