Yield Attributes, Yield and Quality of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) as Influenced by Nutrient Management with Water Soluble and Normal Fertilizers

摘要

Investigation was carried out during khariflQ 14 at GKVK, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru to study the effect of different levels of water soluble and normal fertilizers and methods of fertilizer application on yield attributes, yield and quality of groundnut in red sandy loam soil. The experimental results revealed that drip fertigation of water soluble fertilizers at 50 per cent RDF along with foliar spray of water soluble fertilizers at 12.5 percent RDF recorded significantly highernumber of pod plant:1 (35.7), shelling percentage (75.4 %), pod yield (2910 kg ha ') and haulm yield (2843 kg ha~(-1)). However, it was on par with drip fertigation of normal fertilizers at 50 per cent RDF + water soluble fertilizers at 50 per cent RDF.Higher oil content (46.0 %), oil yield (1009 kg ha'), protein content (26.2 %) and protein yield (575 kg ha~(-1)) were also recorded with drip fertigation of water soluble fertilizers at 50 per cent RDF along with foliar spray of water soluble fertilizers at 12.5 per cent RDF.
