Soil Application Multi Micro Nutrient Fertilizer Mixtures (MMM) Influenced in Groundnut Yield

A field experiment was conducted with a RBD with three replicates having Sixteen treatments of Soil application of 20, 40 and 60 kg ha⁻¹ of Zinc High, Easy Mix, Vasundhara, Multinelf 16 and Boracal 12 multi-micronutrient mixtures (MMM) for Groundnut to ascertain the best matching mixture for maximum yield enhancement during summer 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013−14 at Oilseeds Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, India. The Recommended Dose of fertilizer i.e. 25: 50: 0 NPK kg ha⁻¹ was used. Nitrogen @ 25 kg ha⁻¹ and Phosphorus @ 50 kg ha⁻¹ were applied as basal dose and doses of multi-micronutrient fertilizer was given at sowing. Pooled results revealed that treatment (T₁₅) i.e. Mixture of Zinc, Ferrous iron, Boron, calcium and magnesium (Multinelf 16) @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ recorded significantly higher pod yield (3284 kg ha⁻¹) over remaining treatments excluding Easy mix (3145 kg ha⁻¹), Zinc High (3059 kg ha⁻¹), Vasundhara (3018 kg ha⁻¹) and Boracal (2803 kg ha⁻¹) @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ over its higher and lower level at the time of basal application. However, 100-kernal weight influenced significantly due to application of different Multi-micronutrient fertilizers mixture. Similarly, fetched significantly higher net return ( 96492 ha⁻¹) and B: C ratio 3.18 followed by Easy mix @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ ( 1 92377 ha⁻¹, 3.12), Zinc High @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ ( 88259 ha⁻¹, 3.00) Vasundhara @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ ( 85233 ha⁻¹, 2.95) and Boracal 12 @ 60 kg ha⁻¹ ( 77883 ha⁻¹, 2.81) over left other treatments.
