The invention relates to the field of peanut cultivation techniques and in particular relates to a special growth regulator for peanuts in a fruiting period. The special growth regulator comprises 20-30g of paclobutrazol wettable powder, 2.5-3.0g of chitosan oligosaccharide, 50-100g of seaweed extract and 115-180g of saccharose. The content of chlorophyll of leaves, the leaf net photosynthetic rate and the root activity of the peanuts treated by the regulator in the fruiting period are obviously higher than corresponding contrasts, the leaf SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity and the POD (peroxidase) activity are both obviously higher than corresponding contrasts, the content of malondialdehyde is obviously lower than the contrast, and therefore, the regulator can be used for well eliminate oxygen free radicals and delayin g senescence. By utilizing the special growth regulator, the leaf nitrate reductase activity, the glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase activities are obviously improved, the leaf sucrose synthetase and sucrose phosphate synthase activities are improved, and the accumulation of pod dry matters and compounds of nucleus protein and fat are facilitated. The peanut pod yield is obviously increased, the production increase reason is that the weight of single fruits is obviously increased, the full fruit rate is increased, and the double-kernel fruit rate and the kernel yield rate are greatly increased simultaneously.
