Abstract

Ground nut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of important oil crop grown in Ethiopia. However, its productivity is low due to in appropriate intra and inters spacing practice. The study was conducted in 2019 and 2020 main cropping season at two locations for two consecutive years in west Hararghe Zone, Ethiopia; The objective of this study was to determine the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing of ground nut for maximum yield and yield components. The experiment was laid out randomized complete block design with three replications in a factorial arrangement of three inter-rows (50cm, 60cm and 70 cm) and four intra-row (10cm, 15cm, 20cm and 25 cm) spacing using groundnut Werer-962 variety. From combined mean result observed inter- and intra-row spacing significant different for days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, grain yield. While, non-significant different showed for number of seed per pod. The maximum number of pods per plant (40.86 and 40.18) was obtained from 60cm*25cm and 60cm*20cm inter- and intra-row spacing, respectively. The highest grain yield (2722kg ha⁻¹) was obtained at interaction of 60cm * 20cm spacing, followed by (2622 kgha⁻¹) at 60cm*25cm inter- and intra-row spacing. While the lowest (1542 ha⁻¹ and 1592 ha⁻¹) was obtained from 70cm*25cm and 70cm*20cm inter- and intra-row spacing, respectively. The optimum spacing was given 37.31% yield advantage than over control 60cm*10cm inter- and intra-row spacing. However, based on agronomic performance use of 60cm * 20cm spacing is promising for groundnut production in west Hararghe and similar agro ecologies.
