ABSTRACT

A field experiment carried out to investigate the influence of organic and inorganic sources
of nutrients and their methods of application on groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L) revealed that
growth and yield attributes as well as yield improvement could be obtained by root zone placement
of manures and fertilizers mainly through a significant improvement in 100 kernel weight. Organic
manure (FYM) and different levels of NPK through fertilizers were applied as broadcasting and
root zone placement in various treatments. Thirteen tonnes of FYM application per hectare
recorded significantly higher yield as compared to control. Basal application of 75% recommended
dose of fertiliser [RDF: 20-80-20 (NPK) kg/ha] applied in root zone produced higher dry matter
accumulation and nut yield. Amongst the interaction effects, combination of 13t FYM + 75%
RDF, 13t FYM + root zone application and 100% RDF + root zone application recorded the
highest nut yield of groundnut as compared to other treatment combinations.
