Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during kharif, 2019. The treatments consist of 2 levels of irrigation viz., 0.60 and 0.80 PE and two interval levels viz., alternate and 3 days in main plot and three groundnut cultivars viz., HNG-69, HNG-123 and TG-37-A in sub plot. The experiment was laid out in split plot design and replicated thrice. The yield of crop evaluated as pod yield, haulm yield, biological yield and test weight and in terms of quality as oil yield, N uptake by seed and haulm and protein content. Results revealed that higher pod yield (3117 kg ha^-1), kernel yield (2147 kg ha^-1), haulm yield (4081 kg ha^-1), biological yield (7199 kg ha^-1), test weight (446.58 g), oil yield (978.32 kg ha^-1), N uptake by seed (51.19 kg ha^-1), N uptake by haulm (44.80 kg ha^-1) with HNG-123 in comparison to other varieties under irrigation level of 0.80 PE and alternate day interval.
