Author(s): RK Sharma and Ramavtar
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of three consecutive years 2013, 2014 and 2015 to study the impact of different organic nutrient management practices on productivity and profitability of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at Dryland Farming Research Station, Arjia, Bhilwara (Rajasthan). The experiment comprising eight treatments having three organic sources viz., farmyard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure with or without rock phosphate and vermiwsh spray. Application of vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1 along with 0.35 t Rock phosphate had significant effect on the yield attributes viz., number of pods per plant (20.45), number nodules per plant (14.87), pod weight per plant (13.56 g), 100 seed weight (35.99 g) and shelling percentage (54.08) of groundnut after three year experimentation. Application of vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1 + 0.35 t Rock phosphate produced significantly higher pod yield (1402 kg ha-1) and halum yield (2965 kg ha-1) of groundnut over the no manure application and superior over rest the treatments and also gave highest net return (Rs. 49365 ha-1).
