Abstract
The foliar application and seed Ca + B, Mo + P and Stimulate? in peanut, despite being a practice used long ago, few studies have conclusive results, and then this research was to evaluate the physical and physiological quality peanut seeds from the process of application of fertilizers and bio-stimulant. The design was completely randomized, with seed from peanut plants subjected to the use of three products (Ca + B; Mo + P and Stimulate?), two types of applications (via leaf and seeds), growing with PK and absolute control, following a factorial arrangement of [(3 × 2) + 2]. For the dimensions (length and width) of seeds, as well as the thousand seed weight and number of seeds per pod, data were submitted to descriptive statistics, calculating the mean, standard deviation, variance and coefficient of variation of the data obtained. The application of fertilizers, bio-stimulants and groundnut seeds increases germination of seeds produced, causes more seedlings that are vigorous and reduces the percentage of abnormal seedlings.
Highlights
The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has significant economic importance due to the use of its seeds directly in food, preserves, confectionery industries and in the production of biodiesel [1].The peanut fields in the 2012/2013 crop occupy an area of 108 hectares and produce around 236.000 tonnes ofHow to cite this paper: Melo, L.D.F.A., Gonçalves, E.P., Ralph, L.N., Viana, J.S. and Silva, S.C.A.

The development of techniques to improve a culture can be considered a major component of a production system by contributing to increased productivity without resulting in additional costs, which facilitates its adoption, especially by low-income producers [4]
Among the nutrient analysis showed that the similarities with respect to the amount between treatments (N), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), sulfur (S) and boron (B), which implies that treatments had no effect on the accumulation of these elements

There has been an increase in the number of higher input producers, who use advanced technologies, and the large-scale crops [5]. The use of good quality seed is essential because they carry crucial component of farming systems, contributing to high performance of the crop [6]
