Pengaruh Jarak Tanam Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Tanaman Kacang Tanah (Arachis hypogaea L) Varietas Situraja DM 1

Abstract

Peanut production in Sumedang Regency in 2020 decreased compared to production in 2017. Planting distance will affect the density and efficiency of light use, competition for water and nutrients in the soil. This research aims to study the effect of planting distance on the growth and yield of the Situraja DM 1 variety of peanuts and also to determine the planting distance that provides the best response to the growth and yield of the Situraja DM 1 variety of peanut plants. The research was carried out in Karangheuleut Village, Situraja District, Sumedang Regency. with a height of 428 meters above sea level. The research was conducted in July-October 2023. The research used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) which consisted of 4 treatments and 6 repetitions, namely, A = 20 cm x 30 cm, B = 20 cm x 25 cm, C = 30 cm x 20 cm, D = 30 cm x 25 cm. Setting plant spacing had a significantly different effect on plant height, 100 grain weight and seed weight per plot. Planting distance of 30 cm x 20 cm gives the highest yield at 100 grain weight and seed weight per plot.
