Effect of boron and molybdenum on growth rate and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.)

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to study the effect of boron and molybdenum on groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) with 9 different treatment combinations, which laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) & replicated thrice. The experiment finding revealed that the treatment (T9) boron at 1.5%/ha + Molybdenum 1.5 Kg/ha performed significantly higher than other treatment i.e. plant dry weight (41.66 g), No. of pods/plant (21.16), No. of kernal yield/pod (2), Seed Index (45.66 g), pod yield (3.73 t/ha) and halum yield (10.37 t/ha). Highest CGR (52.50 g/m2/day) and RGR (25 g/g/day) values are recorded under treatment (T7) application of Boron at 1.5% /ha + 0.5 Kg/ha Molybdenum.
