The present investigation entitled “Effect of sowing dates and establishment methods on growth and yield of kharif groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under lateritic soil” was conducted at Agronomy Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.) during kharif season of 2015. The results revealed that, groundnut crop sown in 23rd MW with broad bed furrow method of sowing produced higher growth and yield attributes as compared to other sowing dates and establishment methods respectively. The crop sown in 23rd MW recorded highest kernel (17.25 q ha-1) and haulm (40.25 q ha-1) yield over remaining sowing dates also broad bed furrow method of sowing produced highest kernel (16.81 q ha-1) and haulm (38.86 q ha-1) yield as compared to flatbed method of sowing.

A field experiment was conducted in the Experimental Research Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University during the kharif season 2018. Groundnut variety ICGS-76 was sown @ 70 kg ha-1 for 60×20 cm2 spacing. The experiment was laid in split plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments consisted of two lime levels: lime @ 0 t ha-1 and lime @ 3 t ha-1 while the sub- plot treatments consisted of five sulphur levels: sulphur @ (0 kg ha-1, 10 kg ha-1, 20 kg ha-1, 30 kg ha-1 and 40 kg ha-1 along with recommended dose of fertilizer at 20:60:40 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 respectively in the form of diammonium phosphate and murate of potash. The results showed that application of lime @ 3 t ha-1 gave higher growth and yield attributes compared to no lime and also application of sulphur @ 40 kg ha-1 gave higher growth and yield attributes compared to lower doses of sulphur though there was only slight increase in the attributes between each successive doses of sulphur. Overall application of lime and sulphur increased all the yield attributes of groundnut, where the highest number of pods plant-1, seeds pod-1, 100 kernels weight, pod yield, kernel yield and stover yield were recorded when treatment was done with lime @ 3 t ha1 and sulphur @ 40 kg ha-1.

The present investigation entitled “Effect of sowing dates and establishment methods on quality parameter, uptake of NPK and economics of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under Konkan region of Maharashtra” was conducted at Agronomy Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri, Maharashtra during kharif season of 2015. The results revealed that, the gross return (Rs. 209162 ha-1), net return (Rs. 69446 ha-1) and B: C ratio (1.50) was appreciably higher in 23rd MW as compared to the other sowing dates. However, broad bed furrow method of sowing obtained highest gross returns (Rs. 206615 ha-1), net profit (Rs. 68790 ha-1), and B: C ratio (1.50) as compared to flat bed method of sowing. The highest total nitrogen uptake (142.67 kg ha-1, total phosphorus uptake (11.45 kg ha-1) and total potassium uptake (67.82 kg ha-1) recorded under 23rd MW. Total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium uptake was significantly higher in crop sown by broad bed furrow than flat bed.

An experiment was conducted during Kharif seasons of 2009 and 2010 on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under western dry zone of India following a split-plot design with four dates of sowing (April 20, May 15, June 9 and July 4) and two varieties (HNG 10 and TG 37A) in main- plot and four fertility levels (0, 20 N : 40 P2O5, 30 N : 60 P2O5 and 40 N : 80 P2O5 kg /ha) in sub-plot. Yield component of semispreading variety ‘HNG 10’ i.e. pods/plant, number of kernel/pod, seed index, shelling percentage and yields i.e. pod, kernel, haulm and biological yield were statistically at par with each other from April 20 to June 9 sowing and minimum yield was observed in July 4 sowing, while days to maturity reduced significantly with delay sowing. Variety ‘TG 37A’ sown at July 4 had significantly higher yield attributes and yields than earlier sowing. Harvest index in both the varieties was observed significantly higher in July 4 sowing. Significantly higher yield components and yields were recorded in 30 kg N-60 kg P2O5/ha which was statistically at par with 40 kg N-80 kg P2O5/ha. On the basis of economics, June 9 sowing variety ‘HNG 10’ of groundnut recorded significantly higher net return. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v43i2.21669 Bangladesh J.

Background: Groundnut is one of the most important oilseed crops of India. Improving productivity of groundnut to meet the domestic vegetable oil demand through balanced fertilization is the prime challenge lying before the agronomists in the country. With the aim of evaluating phosphogypsum as a source of sulphur nutrition in groundnut, a field experiment entitled “Response of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to different levels and time of phosphogypsum nutrition” was conducted at Agronomy field unit, University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, during kharif-2019. Methods: Experiment was laid out in randomised complete block design (RCBD) with eleven treatments, of which eight have different combinations of phosphogypsum applied as basal and in split (30 DAS) and one with gypsum as basal alone. Whereas, the remaining two treatments, without any additional source of sulphur are included for comparison. Result: Among eleven treatments, application of phosphogypsum @ 125 kg S eq ha-1 in split recorded highest yield attributes, pod yield (2063 kg ha-1), kernel yield (1418 kg ha-1) and sulphur uptake (11.33 kg ha-1). Which were on par with 100 kg S eq ha-1 in split (2014, 1380 and 10.39 kg ha-1, respectively). All other treatments recorded lower values with lowest in treatments without any additional sulphur source.

The experiment was conducted at the field laboratory of the Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali, Bangladesh during the period from November, 2011 to March 2012 under the tidal Floodplain region to find out optimum sowing time for the selected three cultivars (BARI Sharisha-15, BINA Sharisha-5 and BARI Sharisha-9). There were four sowing dates viz. 30 November, 15 December, 30 December and 15 January. Significant variations due to different sowing dates were observed in plant height, total dry matter, leaf area index, number of siliqua plant-1, seeds silique-1, 1000-grain weight, grain yield and HI. Results showed that the highest grain yield (1.73 t ha-1) was obtained from the first sowing (30 November) with BINA Sharisha-5 and it was significantly different from the yields of all other combination.J.
