Effect of Iron, Molybdenum and Rhizobium on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield of Summer Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Loamy Sand Soil

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to see the effect of different levels of iron, molybdenum and Rhizobium inoculation on growth, yield attributes and yield in summer groundnut. The experiment comprised eighteen treatment combinations with three levels of iron (0, 5 and 10 kg Fe ha-1), three levels of molybdenum (0, 1 and 2 kg Mo ha-1) and two levels of Rhizobium (without Rhizobium and with Rhizobium inoculation) were studied with GG-34 variety of groundnut in randomized block design as factorial with three replications. Among different treatments, the application of 10 kg Fe ha-1, 1.0 kg Mo ha-1 and seed inoculation with Rhizobium increased pod yield by 12.7%, 10.4% and 6.1%, respectively.

Characterization of Physicochemical Properties and and Heavy Metals Content of Soils under Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) Cultivation, Kapuas Hulu District, Indonesia

“…The presence of heavy metals that are still below the critical threshold is possible in the upstream part of the research, there is gold mining without permits, so the metals are carried away by the current downstream. According to Gaur et al (2023), Iron is one of the most deficient nutrients in Indian soils. It is a structural component of cytochrome, hematin and leghaemoglobin.…”

Effect of bio-fertilizers and organic manures on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.)

“…Legumes have been inoculated with Rhizobium all over the world. (Gaur et al, 2023) [5] . The growth of plants, the improvement of nutritional quality, the defense of plants against pathogens, and the protection of plants from salinity and drought are all made possible by VAM fungi.…”
