Effect of Different Fertilizers on Yield of Groundnut

The experiment was laid out at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kapurthala farm with five treatments in randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments include: T1: application of SSP@ 125kg/ha, T2: application of gypsum@ 125kg/ha, T3: application of SSP@ 125 kg/ha + gypsum@ 125kg/ha, T4: application of DAP@ 45kg/ha + gypsum@ 125kg/ha and T5: Farmer's practice (DAP application@ 45kg/ha). The yield data of groundnut revealed that maximum pod yield was obtained with application of SSP@ 125 kg/ha and gypsum@ 125kg/ha followed by SSP@ 125kg/ha alone or DAP@ 45kg/ha + gypsum@ 125kg/ha, which were statistically at par with each other. Similar results were observed with number of pods/plant. It could be inferred that application of both SSP and gypsum was must to get optimum yield of groundnut.
