Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Castor Mustard Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during the kharif, 2019 to investigate the effect of FYM and potassium on growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient uptake by kharif groundnut in loamy sand. The soil of the experimental area was loamy sand in texture having pH value 7.2, with low organic carbon and nitrogen content while medium in available phosphorus and potassium. The treatment comprised of two levels of FYM (0 and 5 t ha-1), three levels of potassium (20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1) and two levels of KMB (with and without) was laid out in randomized block design with factorial concept with three replication using variety ‘TG 37 A’ as a test crop. Application of FYM @ 5 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher number of root nodules plant-1, number pods plant-1, pod weight plant-1, pod and haulm yields, seed index, harvest index as well as shelling percentage, higher uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by kernel and haulm, maximum gross and net realizations.

As potassium application increase, there was progressive and significant increase in number of nodules plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod weight plant-1, pod and haulm yields and seed index, uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by kernel and haulm, highest gross and net realizations as well as benefit: cost ratio (BCR) with 60 kg K2O ha-1.
Application of KMB showed marked increase with KMB turned out superior with respect to number of root nodules plant-1, pod and haulm yields, seed index as well as uptake of nitrogen and potassium by kernel and by haulm. Maximum gross and net realizations as well as benefit: cost ratio with KMB.
