Integrated Nutrient Management Through Manures and Biofertilizers for Enhancement of Growth, Yield and Quality of Summer Groundnut

Abstract

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