Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 0.05% KCl on yield and quality of two peanut varieties L12 and L18 grown in Thanh Hoa province. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with two factors (varieties and chemicals). After careful selection, L12 and L18 seeds were divided into two parts. Part 1 was treated with distilled water as control and part 2 was treated with 0.05% KCl. The results showed that pre-sowing seed treatment with 0.05% KCl increased the yield components and yield of both L12 and L18 when compared to the control, in which the yield of L18 in both treatments reached 37.37 quintals/ha and 39.54 quintals/ha and was higher than that of the L12 variety at 35.77 quintals/ha and 36.40 quintals/ha. Pre-sowing seed treatment with 0.05% KCl also increased the quality of peanuts such as starch content, reducing sugar, lipid, saponification value, protein, B vitamins, total amino acids and content of some mineral elements in peanuts such as N, K, Ca, Mg. Briefly, the results of this study indicated that pre-sowing seed with KCl increased the yield and quality of peanuts.
