Effect of Levels of Phosphorus and Lime on the Yield Attributes and Pod Yield of Irrigated Summer Groundnut
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional-cum-Research Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat district of Assam, during summer season (1997) to study the effect of levels of Phosphorus and lime on the yield attributes and pod yield of irrigated summer groundnut. Yield attributing characters viz. number of kernels per pod, pod weight per plant, kernel weight per plant, and 100-kernel weights were highest in 25 per cent lime requirements. Both under limed and un-lime conditions, the yield attributing characters including pod yield increased significantly with increase in the levels of applied phosphorus up to 50 kg P2O5 / ha.
