Abstract:
Background: The performance of groundnut varieties is varied with the season, seed rate and soil type. Optimum seed rate for a given variety at specific situation not only reduce the cost of cultivation, but also augment the full yield potential of the variety. Growing of groundnut during rabi season gaining momentum in southern agro climatic zone of Andhra Pradesh. Due to lack of suitable variety and optimum seed rate for rabi, the farmers are using higher seed rate even though it is a costly input in groundnut cultivation.
Background: The performance of groundnut varieties is varied with the season, seed rate and soil type. Optimum seed rate for a given variety at specific situation not only reduce the cost of cultivation, but also augment the full yield potential of the variety. Growing of groundnut during rabi season gaining momentum in southern agro climatic zone of Andhra Pradesh. Due to lack of suitable variety and optimum seed rate for rabi, the farmers are using higher seed rate even though it is a costly input in groundnut cultivation.
Methods: A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Podalakur during Rabi 2018-19 to study the response of groundnut varieties to different seed rates. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with varieties (V1: Dharani; V2: Kadiri Amaravathi; V3: Kadiri Harithandra; V4: Kadiri-9; V5: Kadiri-6) in main plot and seed rates (S1: 180 kg ha-1 (30cm x 10cm); S2: 225 kg ha-1 (30cm x 7.5 cm); S3: 270 kg ha-1 (30cm x 5.0cm); S4: 315 kg ha-1 (30cm x 2.5cm) in subplot and replicated the treatments thrice.
Conclusion: Among the different varieties, Kadiri Harithandra resulted in the highest dry pod yield (2309 kg ha-1), while the lowest pod yield was recorded with K-6 (1126 kg ha-1). The highest pod yield (2270 kg ha-1) was registered with seed rate of 270 kg ha-1, while the lowest pod yield of 1938 kg ha-1 was recorded with seed rate of 315 kg ha-1.
