ABSTRACT
The present investigation was conducted during 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Raichur to evaluate the productivity and nutrient uptake of ground nut through organics. The results of pooled data of two years indicated that application of RDF+FYM recorded significantly higher pod and haulm yield (1910 and 2892 kg ha-1, respectively) and it was on par with organic manorial treatments of compost+vermicompost+panchagavya (1886 and 2828, kg ha-1, respectively), compost+vermicompost+vermiwash (1867 and 2771 kg ha-1, respectively) and RDF (1818 and 2794 kg ha-1, respectively). Increase in pod yield with RDF+FYM over compost+vermicompost+panchagavya, compost+vermicompost+vermiwash and recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) was to the tune of 1.27, 2.30 and 5.06 per cent respectively. Nitrogen uptake was significantly higher with RDF+FYM (100.30 kg ha-1) over vermicompost (77.06 kg ha-1), compost+vermiwash (87.91 kg ha-1), vermicompost+panchagavya (86.95 kg ha-1) and vermicompost+vermiwash (81.87 kg ha-1) but was on par with rest of the treatments. Significantly higher uptake of phosphorus was recorded with the RDF+FYM (27.97 kg ha-1) and as compared to all other treatments except compost+vermicompost (23.41 kg ha-1), compost+vermicompost+GLM (22.65 kg ha-1), compost+vermicompost+panchagavya (27.40 kg ha-1), compost+vermicompost+vermiwash (26.24), compost+vermicompost+GLM+ panchagavya (25.05 kg ha-1), compost+vermicompost+GLM+ vermiwash (24.74 kg ha-1) and RDF (25.95 kg ha-1). Uptake of potassium was significantly higher with RDF+FYM and it was on par with all treatments except vermicompost (37.79 kg ha-1), vermicompost + vermiwash (39.95 kg ha-1) and vermicompost+panchagavya (44.32 kg ha-1).
