The increasing cost of peanut production is a major concern in Iran. Therefore, developing the mechanization of peanut production is a necessity. In this regard, a three-phase Delphi study was conducted to identify the promoting and deterring factors affecting peanut cultivation mechanization in Guilan Province, the main peanut-producing region in Iran. After preliminary studies, 26 experts wer...

introduction:toxigenic fungi such as a. flavus grow widely in peanut and produce aflatoxins, a group of carcinogenic metabolites. aflatoxin produced in peanut differed from the genetic variety of plant. the high humidity and moderate temperatures in the subtropical caspian littoral of northern iran could increase the growth of a. flavus and the production of aflatoxin. the objectives of this st...

In order to realize spatial differentiation law of peanut quality in China by quantitative analysis method based on GIS technology, a spatial analysis model for peanut quality was established based on 9 ecological factors influencing peanut quality (light, temperature, water and soil, etc). The results showed that it can be achieved in the analysis of peanut quality differentiation law in space...

population growth and increasing industrial and agricultural activities that cause ghg emissions and risk from environmental management is a serious challenge. in this research, the ghg emissions from peanut production as a potential feedstock for biodiesel fuel was investigated. data were collected through interviews with 75 peanut farmers. the cultivated areas were divided into three categori...

To evaluate the effect of climate change on peanut production in Northern Iran on the basis of 2oC rise in temperature, a study was conducted using the SSM-Peanut. The simulation was done based on the long-term data obtained from synoptic stations in Guilan including Anzali, Astara, Kiashahr (Astaneh Ashrafieh), Lahijan, Rasht (Agriculture station), Rasht (Airport station), Roudsar and Talesh. ...

BACKGROUND Peanut allergy is characterized by increased levels of peanut-specific IgE in the serum of most patients. Thus, the most logical therapy would be to inhibit the IgE production by committed B-cells. This study aims to investigate the unreported anti-IgE effects of Chinese herbal extracts of Rubia cordifolia (Qiancao) and Dianthus superbus (Qumai). METHODS Seventy herbal extracts wer...

Aspergillus flavus is a soil fungus that commonly invades peanut seeds and often produces carcinogenic aflatoxins. Under favorable conditions, the fungus-challenged peanut plant produces and accumulates resveratrol and its prenylated derivatives in response to such an invasion. These prenylated stilbenoids are considered peanut antifungal phytoalexins. However, the mechanism of peanut-fungus in...

mprovement of N2 fixation might be an effective strategy in peanut breeding for high yield under drought stress conditions. However, under water limited conditions peanut varieties having high water-use efficiency (WUE) are favorable. A pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions at Khon Kaen University, Thailand during December 2002 to May 2003, and repeated during June 2003 t...

agricultural activities have always been partly responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases and other environmental contaminants in the atmosphere. thus, studying on the environmental effects of agricultural activities and proposing appropriate strategies to mitigate these adverse effects can be paramount importance. in this study, in order to determine the environmental impacts of peanut ...
