Response of Early and Late Maturing Peanut Cultivars to Sowing Densities and Fungicide Application in Ghana Jesse B. Naab 1, P.V. Vara Prasad 2*, Kenneth J. Boote 2, and James W.

Pod and biomass yields of peanut in Ghana are low (840 kg ha -1 ). It is important to determine yield limiting factors and to develop suitable crop management practices to improve peanut productivity in this region. The objective of our research was to determine the influence of sowing densities and fungicide application on growth, biomass and pod yield of early and late maturing peanut cultivars grown under rain-fed conditions in Northern Ghana. Methods This experiment was conducted at on-station research farm of Savanna Agricultural Research Institute at Wa, Ghana (Latitude, 9.0°N; Longitude, 2.0°W, and Altitude, 390 m above mean sea level). Two peanut cultivars (Chinese, 90-day duration; and Manipintar, 120-day duration) were grown at three sowing densities [low (80,000 ha -1 ), medium (120,000 ha -1 ) and high (200,000 ha -1 )] with and without fungicide application. There were four replications of each treatment in a split-split-plot design, with fungicide in main-plots, cultivars in sub-plots and sowing densities in sub-sub-plots. Peanut cultivars were sown on flat beds in rows 50-cm apart and intra-row spacing of 25-cm (high density), 16-cm (medium density) or 10-cm (high density). At the time of sowing 60 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 was applied through single super phosphate. Fungicide treated plots were sprayed with tebuconazole (Folicur, 0.22 kg a.i. ha -1 ) four times at two-week intervals using back-mounted 15-liter knapsack sprayer starting at 21 days after sowing (DAS). Data on leaf area index (LAI), light interception and total biomass was measured at different stages of crop development. Haulm, pod and seed yield were measured at harvest maturity. Conclusions Applications of fungicide (tebuconazole) were effective in controlling leaf spot and improved average peanut haulm yields by 73% and pod yields by 87% as a result of greater leaf area index and light interception. Sowing density of 120,000 plant ha -1 and use of long duration cultivar (such as Manipintar, average pod yield of 1970 kg ha -1 with fungicide application) will be beneficial under rain-fed conditions in Ghana. Results There were no significant higher order interactions between various treatments, therefore, only the main effects are shown (Tables 1 and 2). Leaf spot symptoms were observed in both cultivars and all sowing densities when not treated with fungicide. Applications of fungicide decreased severity of disease (leaf loss), increased LAI, light interception (Table 1) from 65 to 88 DAS, ensuing in higher total dry matter throughout the season and resulting in greater haulm, pod and seed yield at harvest maturity (Table 2). The long duration cultivar Manipintar had significantly greater LAI, light interception at later stages of crop development and yielded better than short duration cultivar Chinese (Tables 1 and 2). The growth and yield was significantly less at lowest (80,000 ha -1 ) sowing density. There was no significant difference between medium (120,000 ha -1 ) and high (200,000 ha -1 ) sowing densities on haulm, pod and seed yield at harvest maturity (Table 2).
