Nutrient Management

Spread FYM or composted coir pith or compost @ 12.5 t/ha evenly on the unploughed field and plough it in.
If the manure is not applied before commencement of ploughing, spread 12.5 t/ha of FYM or compost evenly on the field before the last ploughing and incorporate in the soil.
Apply NPK fertilizers as per soil test recommendation. If soil tests are not available, follow the blanket recommendations.

Apply full dose of N, P and K basally. Add 5 kg of Manganese sulphate per hectare. Apply 50% of the recommended P2O5and K2O with full recommended dose of N to irrigated gingelly raised after groundnut fertilized with 100% of recommended NPK.
Open furrows to a depth of 5 cm and 30 cm apart and place the fertilizer mixture along the furrows and cover to a depth of 3 cm with soil before sowing.
If furrow application is not done, broadcast the fertilizer mixture evenly on the beds before sowing

25% of the N can be substituted by 3 packets of Azospirillum (600 g/ha) and 3 packets (600 g/ha) of Phosphobacteria or 6 packets of Azophos (1200 g/ha) by seed treatment and 10 packets of Azospirillum (2000 g/ha) and 10 packets (2000 g/ha) of Phosphobacteria or 20 packets of Azophos(4000 g/ha)as soil application.

Manganese deficiency: Leaves develop interveinal chlorosis, chlorotic tissue, later develop light brown or husk coloured necrotic lesions.

Zinc deficiency: Middle leaves develop chlorosis in the interveinal areas and necrosis along the apical leaf margins.
Mix 5 kg/ha of Zinc sulphate with 45 kg of soil and broadcast evenly in the beds after sowing.

Nutritional Disorders Manganese deficiency: Leaves develop interveinal chlorosis, chlorotic tissue, later develop light brown or husk coloured necrotic lesions. Zinc deficiency: Middle leaves develop chlorosis in the interveinal areas and necrosis along the apical leaf margins. Mix 5 kg/ha of Zinc sulphate with 45 kg of soil and broadcast evenly in the beds after sowing. Note: Do not incorporate the micronutrient in the soil. Seed Production Fertilizer NPK @ 50:25:25 kg ha-1 as basal Apply manganese sulphate @ 5 kg ha-1 as basal Foliar application Spray 1% DAP at the time of first flowering and again 10 days after first spray.
