Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College
of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to find out the “Effect of land
configuration and sulphur levels on growth and yield of summer groundnut (Arachis
hypogaea L.)” during summer season of 2019. The soil of experimental plot was loamy
sand which was low in available nitrogen (190.50 kg/ha) and sulphur (14.28 kg/ha) and
medium in available phosphorous (52.40 kg/ha) and potash (507.60 kg/ha). The
experiment consists of twelve treatment combinations comprised of three land
configuration (L1: flat bed, L2: flat bed with earthing up and L3: ridges and furrow) and
four sulphur levels (S1: 0 kg/ha, S2: 20 kg/ha, S3: 40 kg/ha, and S4: 60 kg/ha). The field
experiment was laid out in a split plot design with four replications, wherein, land
configuration were relegated as main plot and sulphur levels were allotted as sub-plot
treatments.
