Abstract: Present investigation was carried out at AICRP on groundnut, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of three levels of recommended dose of fertilizers viz., 100%, 75% and 50%. and biofertilizers viz., rhizobium (liquid) rhizobium (solid), phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, and control.
The rhizobium (liquid) significantly increased the growth attributes viz., plant height, primary branches plant-1 and secondary branches plant-1 resulting in significant increase in groundnut yield (5540.33 kg ha-1) due to treatment rhizobium (liquid) as compared to control (4556.00 kg ha-1). The important phenological studies in respect of days required for initiation of flowering, was significantly influenced under treatments rhizobium, PSB, over control suggesting suitability of rhizobium for cultivation of groundnut. The 100% RDF recorded significantly higher yield of groundnut (5423.00 kg ha-1) over 75% and 50% RDF. Based on one year of experimentation, it could be concluded that the growing of RHRG-6021 variety of groundnut under inoculation of rhizobium (liquid) with 100% RDF found significantly superior for higher yield during summer season.
