Effect of Vine Cutting Time on Yield and Quality of Peanuts and Vine

Effects of vine cutting time on the yield and quality of Quanhua No.7 peanuts and vine were studied.The results showed that harvesting vine 10 days earlier at the vine height of 5 cm could increase the crude protein content and yield of the vine without apparent decline on peanut yield and quality.The yield of vine cut 10 days before peanut-harvest increased 6.5% over the control,at P0.01 level.Its crude protein content was also higher than that of the control.However,the difference was not statistically significant.
