Effect of organic manure on short duration table groundnut in association of agro-chemical

The field study was laid out during two consecutive rainy seasons at Regional Research Station Mainpuri, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur. The experimental soil was sandy loam with poor fertility status. The table groundnut ICGV 93468 (AVTAR) was tested under different doses of farm yard manure with recommended dose of fertilizer i.e., 20 kg N + 30 kg P2O5 + 45 kg Ca + 200 kg gypsum/ha. Among the different doses of nutrient combination, farm yard manure 100 q + RDF/ha registered significantly higher pod yield of table groundnut by 29.75 q/ha over control, conventional system and tested dose FYM started from 20 q/ha to 80 q/ha without increasing the maturity period. Application of FYM 120 q + RDF/ha did not show any significant response over the FYM 100 q + RDF/ha. Application of 100 q + RDF/ha gave highest gross income (Rs. 163625/ha), net return (Rs 98555/ha) and BCR (1:2.51), these values at par with the application of FYM 120 q + RDF/ha. Therefore, application of FYM 100 q + RDF was found suitable for harvesting of table groundnut cv. ICGV 93468 (AVTAR).
