Abstract


Field experimentation on integrated nutrient management for irrigated groundnut was carried out during 1991-92. Results showed that application of FYM at 12.5 t/ha registered higher pod yield than EFYM and no manuring. Oil yield and crude protein content in the kernel were increased with FYM; addition of EFYM, however, increased these parameters compared to no munuring. Though 150 per cent NPK application increased the pod yield, it did not differ with recommended dose (17-34-54 kg/ha). Quality parameters were positively increased with higher rate of fertilizer application. Split application of NK at basal and 45 DAS enabled higher pod yield than all basal or individual nutrient application. More oil out-turn and crude protein content were realised with split application of NK.
