Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth, Yield Attributes, Yield and Quality Parameters of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) in an Acidic Upland of Odisha
Abstract
Field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019–2020 at Agricultural Research Station, IAS, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India in a sandy loam soil. There were seven treatments of different levels of nutrient managements. The experimental results revealed that significantly higher values of growth parameters, yield attributes, pod yield and quality factors under the application of 125% RDF (STBR) [N1, P2 O5 K2 O (25:50:50 kg ha−1) + Combo i.e., [FYM 5t ha−1 + Gypsum @250 k g ha−1 + Rhizobium seed inoculation + PSB soil application @ 2Kg ha −1] followed by application of 100% RDF + Combo, 75% RDF + Combo over application of inorganic fertilizer levels (125%, 100 and 75% RDF) only.
