Abstract:
A field experiment was undertaken at Agronomy Farm, BACA, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat to study the effect of iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo) and Rhizobium on quality parameters of GG-34 variety of groundnut during summer seasons of 2021 and 2022. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. The treatments comprising of three levels of Fe (0, 5 and 10 kg ha-1), three levels of Mo (0, 1 and 2 kg ha-1) and two levels of Rhizobium (with and without Rhizobium) inoculation. The results revealed that application of Fe @ 10 kg ha-1, Mo up to 1 kg ha-1 and Rhizobium inoculation significantly increased chlorophyll content and protein content in summer groundnut grown in loamy sand soil.
