The Effectivity of Peanut Meal

A detailed Summary of The Effectivity of Peanut Meal

This study was conducted to determine the effectivity of peanut meal as a

potential weed killer. Its objective was to find out if peanut meal would decrease the

number of weeds and/or inhibit weed growth and to detemine if the treatment would

Three treatments were formulated for the experiment. Treatment A, comprising

of the peanut meal, was obtained by extracting the oil from peanuts with the use of a

Soxhlet apparatus. Treatment B is the peanut itself and treatment C, the control, is

plain water. Three land areas with the same dimensions were isolated for the experi-ment.

Ten individual weeds were labeled in each area and observed for changes in

At the same time, a germination study was conducted. An equal number of

mongo seeds were placed in two petri dishes with osterized peanut meal.

Geermination of the weeds and their changes in length were observed. Lengths were

After two weeks of treatment no significant changes were observed in areas A

and B. The mongo seeds with peanut meal were observed to have relatively less

germination than the mongo seeds without peanut meal. It is concluded that peanut
