Nutrient requirement for confectionery groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under irrigated condition
A field experiment was carried out during summer seasons of 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 at the Main Oilseeds Research Satiation, Junagadh Agriculture University, Junagadh to determine the optimum nutrient requirement for confectionery on medium clay soil under irrigated condition. The experiment consisted of nine treatments <italic>viz</italic>., two nitrogen levels, two potassium levels, two levels of sulphur and control. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. N @ 50 kg/ha, K @ 50 kg/ha and S @ 40 kg/ha (T<sub>8</sub>) with recommended dose of phosphorus (50 kg/ha) recorded the higher pod yield of 2770 kg/ha and haulm yield of 4557 kg/ha with net realization ( j 85112/ha) and B:C ratio (3.34) which was closely followed by N @ 50 kg/ha, K @ 25 kg/ha and S @ 40 kg/ha (T<sub>6</sub>).
