Abstract:
A field experiment was aimed to improve the physiological and yield traits of groundnut in sandy loam soil under the irrigated condition at Nakkambadi village, Ariyalur, Tamil Nadu during Kharif -2021, to evaluate the influence of various organic sources. The experiment was set up in Randomized Block Design (RBD) replicated thrice, comprised of twelve treatments viz., farmyard manure, goat manure, poultry manure, bio-fertilizer along with foliar spray of Panchagavya, Dasagavya. Among the various organic sources, basal application of FYM @ 10 t ha^-1 + 50% RDF + Rhizobium @2 kg ha^-1along with foliar spray of 3% Panchagavya at 30 and 45 DAS recorded significantly the highest pod and kernel yield (3406 and 2549 kg ha^-1, respectively) and it was followed by basal application of FYM @ 10 t ha^-1 + 50% RDF + Rhizobium @2kg ha^-1 along with foliar spray of 3% Dasagavya at 30 and 45 DAS.
