Effect of nitrogen and spacing on yield and economics of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

A research trail was conducted in zaid 2021, at KVK farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj. To study the influence of nitrogen and spacing on yield and economics on groundnut. The treatments consist of three levels of nitrogen (20, 25 and 30 kg/ha) and three levels plant spacing (20cm × 10cm, 25cm × 10cm and 30cm × 10cm) are included. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The result showed that viz: significantly higher number of pods per plant, seed yield, haulm yield,net returns and B:C ratio recorded in (T6) nitrogen 30kg/ha + 25cm × 10cm.
