Abstract: The study, "The Effect of Fertilizer Rate and Placement on Germination, Field Stand and Yield of Peanut (CES-55)", was conducted from August 12, 1983 to December 10, 1983 in the experimental area (Root Crops Center) of Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. This study was undertaken to find out the effects of different fertilizer rates and placements on germination, field stand and yield of peanut. An area of 275 square meter field was sub-divided into three equal blocks for the replication and further sub-divided into five plots for the treatments and was arranged in a split plot design. Two to three seeds of peanut (CES 5 ) were sown to a hill distanced at 25 x 40 centimeters. Although the peanut plants were subjected to two different planting methods and five rates of complete fer-tilizer (14-14-14) including the control, the number of days from planting to germination did not vary. The same observation was noted on the number of days from flowering to pod formation. In terms of the number of fresh peanut pods per plant, t was shown that 250 kg. 14-14-14/ha. broadcast after planting is the best compared to all other treatments used in this study. However, production in terms of weight is much better if fertilizer is incorporated with the soil at 1.5 to 2.0 centimeter distance to the seeds after planting using the same rate of 260 kg./ha. Based on the results of the study, it is recom-mended that higher rate of complete fertilizer (14-14-14)) i.e., 250 kg./ha., must be incorporated with the soil leaving only a 1.5 to 2.o centimeter distance to the seeds. It is further recommended that a more intensive study be done to include cost and return analysis simply to know the economics of production for each treatment used in this study.
