| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted at Amminabhavi village of Dharwad district during kharif 2000 to study the performance of different groundnut cultivars as influenced by soil and foliar application of iron sulphate in a calcareous soil. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with groundnut cultivars as main plots and iron management practices as sub plots. Among the different varieties tested FeESG-10 and FeESG-8 recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height, number of leaves, branches per plant, leaf area, leaf area index and dry matter production, Fe^^ content and lower per cent chlorosis than other three varieties (Dh-53, TMV-2 and JL-24 ) at all the stages of crop growth. The yield parameters studied such as number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, sound matured kernel and yield of groundnut were also significantly higher in the varieties FeESG-10 (1802 kg ha-i) and FeESG-8 than other three varieties. The lowest yield was recorded with the variety Dh-53 (1515 kg ha-i). The quality parameters studied such as crude protein, saponification number, iodine riumber, acid value and oil content were non-significant among the different varieties studied and iron management practices. However, the uptake of different nutrients by these varieties was significant. Application of FeS04 either through soil or foliar spray resulted in significantly higher growth, yield and uptake of nutrients by the different groundnut cultivars studied. Between the soil and foliar application, foliar application resulted in significantly highest growth and yield parameters and lower per cent chlorosis. Nutrient status after the harvest revealed non-significant difference with varieties as well as with iron management practices. | en_US |
