A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 to study
the effect of cultivars and weed management on late sown groundnut
productivity. The experiment comprising of 16 treatment combinations (4
cultivars (TG-37A, Malika, HNG-10 and Local) and 4 weed control treatments
(Weedy check, Weed free, Pendimethalin 1.0 kg ha-1 and Pendimethalin 1.0 kg
ha-1 with one hand weeding at 35 DAS), replicated four times was laid out in
split plot design. Maximum uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus, higher net return
(49882 Rs. ha-1) and Benefit cost ratio (B: C) recorded in cultivar HNG-10.
Maximum and significantly higher shelling percentage was recorded in Malika
cultivar. Oil yield and economies was obtaining in weed free treatment, which
was significantly higher as compared to Pendimethalin at 1 kg ha-1 treatment;
however, it was statistically at par with Pendimethalin at 1 kg ha-1 + HW 35
DAS treatment. - See more at:.
