Abstract
An experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 to study the effect of different levels of added gypsum (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1) with RDF (NPK @ 25:50:20 kg ha-1) on growth and yield of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The results indicated that effect of different levels of gypsum had significant effect on growth and yield of groundnut. Biological growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of peg, number of nodules, fresh weight of pod, dry weight (pod yield), straw yield were also significantly affected by the application of different levels of gypsum. The highest plant height and number of branches plant-1 at 90 DAS (23.16 cm and 9.80, respectively), number of peg and number of nodules at 90 DAS (22 and 122, respectively), fresh weight of pod and dry weight (pod yield) (37.88 and 26.10 q ha-1, respectively) and straw yield (37.97 q ha-1) were found by the application of NPK-25:50:20 kg ha-1+gypsum @ 200 kg ha-1. However, it was evident from the present study that different growth parameters and yield of groundnut were increase significantly with application of gypsum @ 200 kg ha-1
