Establishing the optimum plant population and harvesting at optimum pod maturity are important in maximizing yield of peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.). The interaction of these two practices have not been documented in Malawi with respect to both yield and aflatoxin contamination in peanut. Research was conducted in Malawi at Mpatsanjoka farm in Salima district during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 growing cycles to determine interactions of plant population and harvest date on peanut yield and aflatoxin concentration in peanut at harvest with the cultivar CG7.  Peanut was seeded in raised beds spaced 75-cm apart with three different planting patterns to establish three final plant populations. A single row planting pattern consisted of one row of peanut on each center with seed spaced 15-cm apart was used to plant seed at a density of 89,000 seed/ha (referred to as the low plant seeding rate).  A twin row planting pattern included two rows of peanut spaced at 25 cm apart with 15 cm between seeds was used to plant seed at a density of 178,000 seed/ha (referred to as the medium plant population). A triple row planting pattern consisted of three rows of peanut spaced 25 cm apart with 7 cm between seeds was used to plant seed at a density of 278,000 seed/ha (referred to as the high density). Peanut for seeding density was dug 10 days before physiological maturity of pods, at physiological maturity, and at 4 and 6 weeks after physiological maturity. Pod yield increased as seeding rate and subsequent plant population increased but decreased as harvesting was delayed past physiological maturity. Yield of peanut with the highest plant population exceeded that of low and medium populations; yield of the medium plant population was greater that the low population in one of two years. Aflatoxin concentration at harvest was not affected by plant population but increased as harvest was delayed past physiological maturity. Harvesting peanut 10 d prior to physiological maturity did not affect grain yield or aflatoxin contamination compared with harvesting at optimum maturity.

SUMMARYIn two experiments with potatoes the effects of plant population (from 13 to 59 stems/m2 in 1969 and 18–111 stems/m2 in 1970) and harvest date (from mid-June till late August/early September) on the yields of tubers and particularly those of canningsize (2–4 cm) were studied in the cv. Maris Peer.Yields of canning-sized tubers increased linearly with increases in the number of mainstems over the range 13–64 stems/m2. The response was similar for harvests made at different stages of growth except for the period of 2–3 weeks after tuber initiation when the effect of plant population on yields was small. For crops grown at low plant populations yields of canning-sized tubers rose to a maximum early in the season and then declined with further growth of the crop. Progressive increases in plant population resulted in maximum yields at progressively later stages in the growth of the crop. The period over which it would have been possible to harvest crops having an acceptable quality and each giving their maximum yield was 4–6 weeks in 1969 and 3–4 weeks in 1970.There was no effect of seed tuber size per se on total tuber yields or yields of tubers in size grades. In both years at least twice the weight of large (over 66 g) as opposed to small seed (22 and 27 g) was required to establish the same stem population/m2. The production and use of small seed suitable for canning potato production is discussed.

Vegetative Organs

The dry matter and moisture contents of the aboveground vegetative organs and kernels of four maize hybrids were studied in Martonvásár at five harvest dates, with four replications per hybrid. The dry matter yield per hectare of the kernels and other plant organs were investigated in order to obtain data on the optimum date of harvest for the purposes of biogas and silage production.It was found that the dry mass of the aboveground vegetative organs, both individually and in total, did not increase after silking. During the last third of the ripening period, however, a significant reduction in the dry matter content was sometimes observed as a function of the length of the vegetation period. The data suggest that, with the exception of extreme weather conditions or an extremely long vegetation period, the maximum dry matter yield could be expected to range from 22–42%, depending on the vegetation period of the variety. The harvest date should be chosen to give a kernel moisture content of above 35% for biogas production and below 35% for silage production. In this phenophase most varieties mature when the stalks are still green, so it is unlikely that transport costs can be reduced by waiting for the vegetative mass to dry.

Randomized Block Design

This study was conducted in Balai Benih Induk (BBI) Luwus, Baturiti District, Tabanan Regency, with the high of place 506m above sea level occurring in March to May 2014. This research used randomized block design arranged per factor, namely population of plants (P) including three steps: P1=80.000 plants per hectare, P2= 100.00 plants per hectare, P3= 120.000 per hectare; and mulch (M) that include: M0= without mulch and without cleaning, M1= without mulch with clean weeding, M2= rice plants straw mulch (5 ton per hectare) and M3= black silver plastic mulch. Eventually, there were 12 combination treatments, each of which was repeated 3 times to obtain 36 land slots. The research indicates that there was no real interaction between the treatment of plant population and mulch usage in all variables observed. The 100.000 plant population per hectare can produce the weight of dry and fresh oven corn kernel without highest cornhusk that was to say 4.79 tons and 0.53 tons or 11.66 % and 20.45% higher compared to 120.000 plant population per hectare. The use of black silver plastic and rice plants straw mulch can produce the weight of fresh and dry oven corn kernel without cornhusk per hectare each of which is 4.69 tons, 4.57 tons, and 0.54 tons, 0.47 tons or 26.76%, 38.46 %, and 23.51 %, 20.51 % higher than without mulch and without clean weeding. Clean weeding treatment can produce the weight of fresh and dry oven corn kernel without cornhusk per hectare with its weight of 4.63 tons and 0.51 tons or 25.35 % and 35.90 % higher than without mulch and cleaning. Clean weeding treatment was not obviously different from mulch treatment. The identification of weed types were 19 kinds of weeds and Cyperus rotundus L. Weeds. They have the highest density and each absolute frequent of 1249.333 stems m-2 and 1.00.
