Field experiments conducted during 2002–2005 with various fertilizer rates and their split application using groundnut varieties VRI2 and BS 9002 as test crops. The results revealed that, application of 34: 64: 108 kg NPK ha−1 at a split of 50: 25: 25 percent N and K at basal, flowering and peg forming stage and 100 per cent P as basal found to be an optimum dose for getting maximum pod yield. Increasing levels of respective nutrient increased the nutrient content in the crop and its uptake.
