Abstract

A Field experiment was carried out during kharif season of 2020 at Research Farm, Krishi Vignana Kendra, Yagantipalli, Kurnool District, (A. P.), to study the effect of organic manures and molybdenum on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) experiment laid with 3 treatments of organic manures (FYM 10t/ha, Vermi Compost 4t/ha, Poultry Manure 5t/ha) and another three levels of molybdenum (0.5, 1.0,1.5 kg/ha). These 9-treatment combination was laid out in Randomize Block Design. The results revealed thatviz: Plant height (49.93cm), number of nodules per plant (38.57), dry weight (37.93 g/plant) were recorded significantly higher with application of 5 t/ha PM + 1.5 kg/ha Molybdenum. Number of pods per plant (22.67), seed yield (2325 kg/ha) and haulm yield (3396 kg/ha) were recorded significantly higher with application of 5 t/ha PM + 1.5 kg/ha Molybdenum. Higher gross returns (1,22,661.3 `/ha), net return (53,925.39 `/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.13) was obtained with appl

Conclusion

It was concluded that combination of poultry manure 5 t/ha with 1.5 kg/ha molybdenum recorded significantly higher Productivity and profitability from Groundnut cultivation with grain yield (2325 kg/ha), gross return (1,22,661.3 INR/ha), net returns (53,925.39 `/ha) benefit cost ratio (1.13) for profitable cultivation of groundnut. As this combination provides good quality produce in groundnut cultivaton with lesser impact on human health and environment and improving organic matter content in soil
