Effect of Land Configuration and Sulphur on Growth, Yield and Economics of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Effect of Land Configuration and Sulphur on Growth, Yield and Economics of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)”, to study the response of groundnut under three land configurations such as, flatbed, raised bed and ridges and furrow methods with combination of Sulphur (30,45 and 60 kg/ha). The results revealed that significant and higher plant height (42.05 cm), number of nodules/plant (150.83), plant dry weight (22.03 g), number of pods/plant (31.20), number of kernels/pod (2.00), seed Index (39.81 g), pod yield (3.28 t/ha), seed yield (2.24 t/ha), haulm yield (4.55 t/ha), harvest index (33.00 %), maximum gross returns (1,50,500.00 INR/ha), net returns (1,02,748.00 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.15) was recorded in treatment 6 [Raised bed + Sulphur (60 kg/ha)].
