Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during summer season of 2016 on clayey soil at College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to study the “Integrated nutrient management in bold seeded summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)”. The study comprised of ten treatments consisting of three different organic sources of nutrients and these organic sources were combined with 50 and75 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer. The results revealed that combined application of 75% RDF(18.75-37.50-37.50-15 kg N-P2O5-K2O-S ha-1) + 25% N through FYM (1.25 t/ha) + Biofertilizer (Rhizobium and PSM @ 10 ml kg-1 seed) recorded significantly higher pod and haulm yield with gross (₹ 102200 ha-1), net realizations (₹ 56582 ha-1), benefit: cost ratio (2.24) N, P, K and S content (4.56, 0.51, 0.60, 0.32% and 1.90, 0.31, 0.72, 0.26 %) and uptake (105.92, 11.80, 13.93, 7.36 kg ha-1 and 58.64, 9.44, 36.12, 8.09 kg ha-1) in pod and haulm, respectively and post-harvest N, P2O5 and S available status (255.00, 40.30 kg ha-1 and 30.63 mg kg-1, respectively) of soil which was closely followed by application of 75% RDF + 25% N through Vermicompost + Biofertilizer.
