ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during February to May 2008 at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai to study the effect of panchakavya and fertigation on groundnut. The treatments were, soil application of 100% NPK as basal (farmers method) (T1), soil application of 100% P and 50% NK as basal + 50 % NK in 4 splits on 15,30,45 and 60 Days after sowing (DAS) (T2) and soil application of 100% P and 50% NK as basal + Panchakavya spray (3%) on 15,30 and 45 DAS (T3). The results revealed that basal application of 100% P with 50% NK and the remaining 50% NK as fertigation on 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAS recorded higher yield attributes and pod yield of groundnut and higher soil moisture content.
Key words :
Basal application, Drip irrigation, Fertigation, Groundnut, Panchakavya, Yield.
