Opis

This study attempts to determine possibility of improving productivity of peanut production in hilly zone of Thua Thien Hue province. It consists of field survey and field experiment. Field survey aims to gain knowledge about farming systems and current farmers'' practices in peanut production and also to access the variation in peanut yield and limiting factors of peanut production in the hilly zone. The field experiment was conducted to examine the effect of phosphorous fertilizer and lime on peanut yield improvement in hilly zone of Thua Thien Hue province. Experimental design consists of two factors with were four rates of phosphorous fertilizer and four rates of lime. It was assigned in split plot design with three replications. Local peanut variety was selected for the experiment. In conclusion, peanut production was not only giving high gross margin but also improving soil fertility in cropping systemsa as well as reducing pressure of labor shortage in production system in the hilly zone.
