Peanuts

Minplus and Peanuts

• Peanuts growing on acidic soils at Innisfail have responded dramatically to Minplus applications.
  
  
• The response may be largely a result of the calcium-deficient nature of the soil.
  
  
• Peanut kernel samples are currently with the Peanut Company of Australia, Kingaroy, for commercial appraisal.

 

Peanut yield increases and Minplus

Yields of peanuts from individual plants grown in Minplus-treated soils were significantly (p < 0.001) much heavier than those from the untreated soils.

• Untreated soil: 348g from 30 plants
  
  
• Minplus-treated soil: 663g from 30 plants,
  
  
• Yield difference: 1.9 times
