TI - Response of peanuts to K fertilization and foliar spraying with zinc and boron under sandy soil conditions KW - Peanuts KW - Fertilizers KW - Sandy soils KW - Foliar feeding N1 - Includes reference N2 - A field experiment was carried out at EI-Khattara region Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during 2006 season to study the effect of K fertilization and foliar spraying with Zn and B or their combinations on growth, yield, yield components, oil percentage as well as uptake of some macro- and micronutrients by peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. Ismailia 1) grown on a sandy soil. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: 1) The highest values of peanut yield and its attributes as well as seed quality were obtained when plants treated with K combined with foliar spraying with (Zn + B). 2) The highest nutrient content and uptake by plant were obtained when treated with K combined with foliar spraying with (Zn + B). 3) Soil available N, P and K were increased due to the different treatments, the highest N, P and K values (SO.I, 5.18 and 160 mg kg⁻¹ soil, respectively) were observed under the combined treatment of (K + Zn + B). 4) The highest values of available Zn. B, Mn and Co (1.19, 0.92, 3.75 and 0.86 mg kg-I soil, respectively) were obtained due to the combined treatment (K+Zn+ B) UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/ZJAR/3407/4/737.pdf ER -
