Integrated nutrient management through manures and biofertilizers for enhancement of growth, yield and quality of summer groundnut (Aarchis hypogaea L)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2005 and 2006 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of groundnut under irrigated condition. Application of 75 % RDF + 25 % N through FYM + Rhiz. + PSB significantly increased plant height, spreed, number of branches, leaf area, and y matter accumulation and there by yield and quality of groundnut. Application of 75 % RDF + 25 % through FYM + Rhiz. + PSB significantly increased growth, yield and quality parameters compared to rest of integrated nutrient management levels. 100 %N through organic manure (50 %N through FYM + 25 %N through vermicompost + 25 %N through neem cake+ Rhiz + PSB) treatment significantly increased oil content of groundnut kernels.
