Abstract


Background. Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are a legume recognized for their high value in macro and micronutrients, whose combination makes it a functional food in various diets. In addition, the use of silicon as a biostimulant, and its relationship with the symbiosis established in legumes, make it a beneficial element of interest in peanut cultivation. Objective. To evaluate the edaphic application of silicon (Si) on morphological changes, yield, proximal seed composition, as well as the profitability index of peanut crops. Si was used at a dose of 28, 35 and 42 kg/ha, and a control group (without Yes). The change in crop growth, yield and its components, pod quality, proximal composition, and B/C ratio of Si use were evaluated. Results. The results propose a positive Si footprint in the crop, by significantly increasing the height of the plants (9.75%), an improvement in the quality of the pods, an increase in yield (11%), a significant change in the proximal composition (more protein, lipids and ash, and lower moisture index), and an increase in profitability (16.47% higher than the ordinary index). Additionally, an advance in the number of days needed for flowering to occur was noted. Implications. This could be due to the interaction of Si with the symbiosis that occurs between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, in addition to the biostimulant response of plants to Si. Conclusions. The Si promoted growth, productivity, and also generated a positive economic footprint in peanut cultivation.
