ABSTRACT
In order to study the effect of zinc and boron on quality parameters and oil yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L) a field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil (Typic haplustalf) with deficient in available zinc (0.46 mg kg-1) and boron (0.43 mg kg-1) soil of Shivamogga (Karnataka). Results of the experiment showed that protein content, oil content and oil yield of groundnut was significant increased over the control due to application of boron @ 5 kg ha-1 and zinc sulphate at three level 5, 10 and 20 kg ha-1 either alone are in combination with borax.
Key words :
Arachis hypogaea, Boron, Oil & groundnut, Protein content, Sandy loam, Typic haplustalf, Zinc.
