Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya in Raigarh (C.G.) during the 2019 and 2020 kharif seasons, focusing on groundnut cultivation. The findings highlighted that employing a ridge and furrow land configuration resulted in the highest performance in terms of yield parameters (pods plant^-1, kernels pod^-1, and 100-kernel weight), overall yields (pods and haulm), and an impressive benefit-cost ratio. Additionally, implementing a nutrient management strategy, specifically 100% Recommended Dose of Nutrients (RDN) (30 kg N, 60 kg P2O5, and 30 kg K2O ha^-1) along with 5 tons of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) ha^-1, led to the most favorable outcomes in terms of groundnut yield attributes, overall yields, and the benefit-cost ratio.
