Abstract
In a field experiment during the monsoon season of 1990 and summer season of 1991 at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, groundnuts cv. Co.2 were irrigated at irrigation water:cumulative pan evaporation (IW:CPE) ratios of 0.5 or 0.75. Three irrigation layout systems (basin, ridges and furrows or flat ridges and furrows) and the application of 10 or 15 t coir waste/ha or 12.5 t FYM were also compared. In 1990, pod yields were higher at an IW:CPE ratio of 0.75 than 0.50 (1.89 vs. 1.79 t/ha). Pod yields under basin, ridges and furrows and flat ridges and furrows systems were 1.76, 1.93 and 1.84 t, respectively. The application of 15 t coir waste gave the highest pod yield of 1.98 t, compared with 1.84 t with 10 t coir waste and 1.70 t with 12.5 t FYM. In 1991, yield patterns with all the treatments were identical, excepting that pod yields were about 1 t greater
