Abstract

Variety or cultivar: For the present work we chose the cultivar BRS Havana, registered by Embrapa, suitable for both manual and mechanized harvesting. It is suitable for planting in in several regions of Brazil and have shown good yields in the Northeast and Midwest. It is an erect peanut cultivar, its pods are medium in size with 3 or 4 beige, round, medium-sized seeds with an average oil content of 43%. ⋅ Seeding depth: The planting depth varies from 5 to 8 cm. For sandy soils, deeper plantings are recommended. ⋅ Indicated row spacing: For short-cycle (90 to 100 days) erect cultivars, the The most recommended spacing is 0.5 m x 0.2 m, with two seeds per hole, with density population between 160,000 and 200,000 plants per hectare. Spacing 0.3 m x 0.2 m also is recommended and, as it is denser, requires a greater amount of seeds for planting, with the advantage of reducing the number of weeding and greater productivity. At the spacing of 0.7 m between the rows the productivity is lower, but it facilitates the mechanical control of weeds.
