Effect of Fluoride and Fertilizers on Protein and Amino Acid Content of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea Var. TMV-7)

摘要

Effects of different levels of fluoride ion (F) concentration on the protein and amino acid content in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea-Var. TMV-7) was studied. Plants were grown in pots and watered with different F concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0 and 80.0 ppm) and fertilized with potash, NPK complex, urea and superphosphate. Cow dung was used as control. Application of F affected the protein and amino acid content with increasing or decreasing F concentration. Protein content was found increased maximum at 2.5 ppm with NPK complex and minimum with urea at 40.0 ppm F concentration. Similarly amino acid content was found increased at 5.0 ppm with superphosphate and minimum with potash at 40.0 ppm F concentration.
