Effect of phosphorus, molybdenum and rhizobium inoculation on growth, nodulation and yield of peanut

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted on a sandy soil at Ismailia Agric. Res. Station, Egypt to study the effect of either the separate treating with rhizobium, foliar spray of molybdenum and phosphorus fertilizer or the combined application on plant growth, root nodulation and yield of peanut (Giza 5 var.).
Data indicated that the combined application was as good as separate treating and both had significantly increased root nodulation, growth, pod and yield as well as their N and P contents over the untreated control.
The inoculation with rhizobium on plant growth and yield of peanut were arranged in ascending order: Mo< rhizobium< P. However, the highest values of plant dry weight (at 60 days of planting) and yield of peanut were existed in the treatment which receiving 45 kg P2O5+ 20 g Mo/fed to inoculation plant.
