D.S. Thorave and M.B. Dhonde

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2005 to find out the productivity and profitability as influenced by integrated nutrient management in summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The results revealed that the combined application of inorganic fertilizer and organic manure recorded favourable effects on productivity and profitability of summer groundnut. The application of 75 per cent N through inorganic fertilizer plus 25 per cent N through vermicompost or FYM found beneficial proposition for achieving higher productivity and profitability of summer groundnut.
