Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth and yield of summer groundnut

A study was conducted at AICRP on Integrated Farming Research System, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during summer season of 2024-25 on " Effect of foliar application of micronutrients on growth and yield of Summer groundnut."In Randomized Block Design seven different treatment are allocated in 4 replication which are T1-RDF, T2-RDF + ZNSO4 + FESO4 + BORAX (FARMERS PRACTICE), T3-RDF + FOLIAR SPRAY OF MNS at the rate 5 ml/litre, T4-RDF + FOLIAR SPRAY OF MNS at the rate 7.5 ml/litre, T5-RDF + FOLIAR SPRAY OF MNS at the rate 10 ml/litre, T6-RDF + FOLIAR SPRAY OF MNS at the rate 12.5 ml/litre, T7-RDF + FOLIAR SPRAY OF MNS at the rate 15 ml/litre.Among the different treatment T5 treatment shows highest plant height (cm), no. of leaves plant -1 , no. of branches plant -1 , chlorophyll content which is at par with T6 and T7.T5 also shows highest pod yield (kg ha -1 ), haulm yield (kg ha -1 ) hundred kernel weight (g).
