ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2023-24 at S.V. Agricultural College Farm, Tirupati. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design and replicated thrice. The main plots contain four treatments viz., Control (M₁), 100 % RDN through farmyard manure (M₂), 100 % RDN through poultry manure (M₃) and 50 % RDN through farmyard manure + 50 % RDN through poultry manure (M₄) as organic manures and sub plots contain four treatments viz., Control (S₁), Sea weed extract @ 1.0 % (S₂), Aerated panchagavya @ 3.0 % (S₃) and Fish amino acid @ 1.0 % (S₄) as foliar sprays at 20, 40, 60 DAS. The test variety of groundnut was ‘Visishta’. Among the soil application of organic manures, 100 % RDN through poultry manure resulted higher in terms of growth and yield of groundnut. Among the organic foliar sprays, growth and yield of groundnut were higher with the application of sea weed extract @ 1 % however it was at par with aerated panchagavya @ 3% foliar spray.
