ABSTRACT

A field trial was conducted at S.V. Agricultural College Farm, Tirupati, Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Andhra Pradesh, India during kharif, 2017 to identify the hierarchy of production factors for efficient use of resources for optimum production of groundnut. The results revealed that adoption of recommended package of practices is highly remunerative for groundnut cultivation. Among the individual production factors, withdrawal of nutrients from full package of practices (FPP) alone caused substantial reduction in yield (35 %), followed by exclusion of weeding (27 %) and non-practising of in-situ moisture conservation (21 %). Thus nutrient management and weed management followed by in-situ moisture conservation emerged out to be the priority production factors in rainfed groundnut.

KEY WORDS: Groundnut, Full package of practices, Nutrient management and Weed management
