Abstract

In field trials in farmers' fields in Jaipur district, Rajasthan in the 1986-87 rainy seasons, groundnuts cv. M13 were given 50 kg S/ha as gypsum and 60 kg P2O5/ha as single superphosphate or diammonium phosphate. Treatments included basal application, top dressing, or 50% basal + 50% top dressing. Mean pod yield was 1.63 t/ha without fertilizers, and among the other treatments ranged from 1.94 t with gypsum applied all as top dressing to 2.85 t with diammonium phosphate + gypsum applied all at sowing. Superphosphate was generally superior to diammonium phosphate, and basal application better than top dressing. Seed oil and protein concentrations were highest with application of gypsum + P, and higher from superphosphate than diammonium phosphate
