Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during kharif 2019 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the “Response of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to potassium and sulphur in loamy sand”. The experiment consisted of nine treatment combinations comprised of three levels of potassium (00, 30 and 60 kg K/ha) and three levels of sulphur (20, 40 and 60 kg S/ha) were embedded in randomized block design with factorial concept with four replications. The maximum plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest, number of branches/plant, number of nodules/plant as well as fresh and dry weight of nodules/plant at flowering stage, number of filled pods/plant, pod yield/plant, seed index, pod and haulm yield and shelling percentage of groundnut were recorded with application of potassium @ 60 kg/ha as compared to 00 kg/ha and sulphur @ 60 kg/ha as compared to 20 kg/ha.
