Abstract :

Bandar Kiashahr County located in Guilan province is used to survey effect of methanol and zinc on peanut qualities and quantities characteristics.Various methanol application (0, 10, 20, 30 v/v) and zinc chelate (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5) in 1000cc were selected as surveying treatments. Results indicated that zinc and methanol application had significant effects on measured parameters. Also comparing the average of measured parameters showed that interaction effect of methanol solution 30% (v/v) and zinc 1/1000cc on surveyed parameters are more than other treatments. Foliar methanol and zinc application increased pod yield, grain yield, weight of 100 kernel, mature pods per plant, protein content of seed and oil content of seed but interaction effect of methanol and zinc had no significant impact on oil and protein content of seeds.
