Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during kharif season, 2021 at Post Graduate Institute Research Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (Maharashtra). Result from this experimentation shows that the adoption of broad bed furrow planting method recorded the maximum growth attributing characters viz. plant height, plant spread, number of branches plant-1, total dry matter plant-1 and yield contributing characters viz. number of pods plant-1 which ultimately results in increase of kernel yield (21.47 q ha-1), dry pod yield (31.26 q ha-1) and dry haulm yield (36.93 q ha-1) of groundnut. Application of GRDF + 60 kg K2Oha-1 + 60 kg S ha-1 recorded the maximum growth attributing characters viz. plant height, plant spread, number of branches plant-1, total dry matter plant-1 and yield contributing characters viz. number of pods plant-1 which ultimately results in increase of kernel yield (23.62 q ha-1), dry pod yield (35.06 q ha-1) and dry haulm yield (35.87 q ha-1) of groundnut. Based on the one-year experimental finding it can be concluded that the higher growth and yield characters were obtained with a broad bed furrow planting method with application of GRDF + 50 kg K2O ha-1 + 40 S ha-1

Keywords

Groundnut, Land configuration, Nutrient management, Broad Bed Furrow.

Conclusion

Based on the one year experimental finding it can be concluded that the higher growth and yield characters obtained by application of broad bed furrow land configuration with GRDF + 50 kg K2O ha-1 + 40 S ha-1 was found appropriate and beneficial for achieving higher productivity
