Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2018 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to study the effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth, yield and economics of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment consists of ten different treatment combinations for application of recommended dose of nitrogen to summer groundnut i.e 25 kg nitrogen/ha through different organic source viz.(farm yard manure and vermicompost), inorganic fertilizer along with organic sources, Rhizobium and PSB. The results revealed that the integration of inorganic fertilizers along with seed inoculation of biofertilizers i.e. Rhizobium and PSB recorded significantly the highest pods and haulms yield as compared to rest of treatments combinations. Combined application of 75 % RDN and 25 % RDN through vermicompost or FYM along with seed inoculation of Rhizobium and PSB recorded higher pods and haulms yield and also higher net realization and B: C ratio of summer groundnut.
