Abstract

Abstract: To solve the problem of uncoordinated source-sink relationship that limits the increase of peanut yield, we investigated the regulating effects of ethephon on the formation of source-sink in cultivar Shanhua 9 by spraying at 10, 20, and 30 d after anthesis in a field experiment. The results showed that spraying ethephon at 10 d and 20 d after anthesis significantly reduced the number of flowers, pegs and young pods, but increased the number of immature pods and mature pods. Spraying at 30 d after anthesis did not affect the number of flowers, pegs and young pods. Spraying ethephon could improve the leaf area per plant. Spraying at 10 d after anthesis achieved the highest leaf area per plant and the increment amplitude decreased with the delay of spraying stage. Spraying ethephon at 10 d and 20 d after anthesis significantly improved the photosynthetic performance of peanut, whereas spraying at 30 days after anthesis increased the photosynthesis only in the short-term and had no effect at late growth period. In terms of the comprehensive characters of source and sink, spraying ethephon at 20 d after anthesis achieved the most harmonious source-sink relationship, which could promote the transport of photosynthate to pods and increase the economic pods ratio, pod fullness, and the yield. Therefore, spraying ethephon is an effective practice to solve the problems of “more flowers but less pegs” and “more pods but less kernels” in peanut. The optimum spraying stage of ethephon to regulate flowering should be at 20 d after anthesis.
