Effect of FYM, iron and zinc on growth and yield of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under North Gujarat Agro-climatic conditions

摘要

A held experiment was conducted during summer season ot 2012 in loamy sand sou ot agronomical farm, C.P.C.A., S.D.A.U., S.K. Nagar to study the effect of soil application of FYM with combination of Fe and Zn with recommended dose of N (25 kg ha~(-1))and P (50 kg ha~(-1)) on growth, yield and quality by groundnut crop under North Gujarat Agro-climatic condition. Application of FYM @ 51 ha-1 with 5 kg Fe ha~(-1) + 4 kg Zn ha-1 to groundnut considerably increased yield, yield attributes and quality parameters. The maximum cost benefit was obtained in groundnut crop with application of FYM @ 51 ha-1 with 5 kg Fe ha~(-1) + 4 kg Zn ha~(-1).
