Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at the Plantation Section of the Faculty of Agriculture, KNUST, in the major (March) and minor (August) seasons of 2007 and major (May) season of 2008 to determine the growth and yield response of groundnut to weeding regime and plant spacing. The experimental design was a 4 x 3 factorial, arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments comprised four levels of weeding (No-weeding or control (W0), weeding 2-3 weeks after planting (W1), weeding 3-4 weeks after planting (W2) and W3 or weed-free) and three levels of plant spacing which included 20 cm x 20 cm (250,000 plants/ha), 30 cm x 30 cm (111,111 plants/ha) and 30 cm x 45 cm (74,740 plants/ha)). Normal husbandry treatments including refilling, thinning, fertilizer application, pests and disease control and weeding were undertaken. Response variables measured were growth and yield components
