Effect of poultry manure as partial substitute for P and S on the yield and quality of groundnut

Abstract

A Potculture experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield and quality of groundnut with poultry manure as partial substitute for P and S. Poultry manure (PM) was integrated with chemical fertilizers (CF), SSP and elemental S at different ratios. There were six treatments replicated three times in a completely randomized design (T1-Control, T2- 100%PM, T3-75% PM + 25% CF, T4-50% PM+50%CF,T5- 25% PM + 75% CF and T6 100%CF. Highest pot yield (45.50 g/pot) and oil content (45.2%) was obtained forT5 and Maximum protein content (12.50%) was recorded for T3.
