The Impact of Storage Conditions on Peanut Seed Quality, Growth, and Yield.

ABSTRACT: As one of the major oil crops worldwide, peanuts play a crucial role in ensuring the stability of global oil production and quality. Seed quality, a direct determinant of yield, is influenced by various factors, among which storage temperature and moisture content are critical. However, the mechanisms by which storage conditions affect peanut seedling development and final yield remain unclear. To address this, we conducted field plot experiments using different storage temperature regimes (0 °C, -10 °C, -20 °C, -40 °C) and seed moisture contents (5%, 10%, 15%) to evaluate their effects on seed quality, subsequent growth, and yield. The results showed that, at the same storage temperature, seed vigor declined with increasing seed moisture content. Conversely, at the same seed moisture cont
