Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted during 2017-18, 2018-19 on Inceptisol with a view to study the "Effect of graded levels of gypsum and phosphogypsum application yield contributing characters of summer groundnut” at Oilseeds Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments. There were nine treatments including absolute control, RDF (DAP, urea, MOP) sulphur free, RDF through urea, SSP, MOP, RDF-sulphur free with soil application of gypsum @ 200, 300 and 400 kg ha^-1 and RDF-sulphur free with soil application of phosphogypsum @ 200, 300 and 400 kg ha^-1 Five plants each of groundnut were selected randomly and tagged in each plot for recording various post-harvest observations. The present study reported that the number of filled pods per plant were significantly higher in RDF-sulphur free with soil application of phosphogypsum @ 400 kg ha^-1. The yield contributing characters such as hundred pod weight, hundred kernel weight and shelling percentage of groundnut was found significantly higher in RDF-sulphur free with soil application of phosphogypsum @ 400 kg ha^-1.
