Abstract


In order to study the effect of plant population on yield  and its components of Groundnut, an experiment was conducted in complete randomize blocks design with four replications at Research Farm of  New Halfa Research Station during summer seasons of 2016 and 2017.  Experimental factors including: Type of seeds (shelled and unshelled), spacing (5, 10 and 15cm) and seed number (1, 2 and 3 Seeds or pods/hole) which combination to (285714, 571428, 857143, 142827, 428571, 95238 and 190476 plants/ha). The results revealed that, particularly in first season, the closer spacing between hills increased plant height, biological yield, as well as straw yield but number of fruited branches was increased in wider spacing. In can be concluded that, sowing either shelled or un shelled groundnut seeds at higher plant populations resulted in increased of growth attributes and straw yield in this study

Keywords
