Siping City is an important peanut-growing region in Jilin Province, where peanut cultivation places high demands on soil fertility and water management. This year's relatively dry climate has had a certain impact on peanut seedling growth.
On June 25, the Yimu Shen service team visited Siping City, Jilin Province, to follow up on Brother Wang's peanut field. They compared the performance of peanut fields treated with Leopard® products versus those without and found that Leopard® significantly promoted root development and enhanced drought resistance.

Context
Planting Background: The demonstration field and the control field were separated by just one ridge. Brother Wang's peanut field, treated with Leopard®, was planted 10 days later but now shows overall better growth (stems, leaves, roots, and flowering) compared to the adjacent field planted earlier.
Product Applied: Leopard® Carbon Enzyme Chelated Medium & Trace Element Fertilizer.
Field Growth Comparison (Treated 🆚 Untreated)
(1) Aboveground Performance
| Comparison | Leopard®-Treated Peanuts | Untreated Peanuts |
|---|---|---|
| Plant Growth | Robust | Relatively Lagging |
| Leaf Condition | Leaves spread out, efficient photosynthesis | Leaves curled, wilting due to drought stress |
| Flowering Status | Already in flowering stage | Not yet flowering |
(2) Underground Performance
| Comparison | Leopard®-Treated Peanuts | Untreated Peanuts |
|---|---|---|
| Root Growth | Dense root system, deep primary root, well-developed lateral roots | Sparse roots, shallow growth |
| Rhizobia Count | Abundant rhizobia, strong nitrogen fixation | Few rhizobia, weak root absorption capacity |
| Stress Resistance | Minimal drought impact, strong root water absorption | Drought hinders root development, poor water absorption |

Through horizontal and vertical comparisons, it was found that peanuts treated with Leopard®—thanks to their deep root systems and abundant rhizobia—could quickly adapt to the environment even when planted later. They exhibited higher nutrient absorption efficiency, earlier flowering, and significantly better drought resistance compared to the conventionally planted fields.
