PAU experts' suggestion for groundnut crop

After the harvest of wheat, groundnut can be sown upto the end of May after applying rauni. The seed should be further treated with 1.5g Seedex or 5 g Thiram or 3 g of Indofil M-45 per kg of kernels. Apply 13 kg urea, 50 kg single superphosphate, 17 kg Muriate of Potash and 50 kg gypsum per acre at the time of sowing. If recommended dose of phosphorus had been applied to wheat, its application to groundnut can be omitted. Apply potassium only to soils testing low in this nutrient. In soils having zinc deficiency, apply 25 kg zinc sulphate heptahydrate (21%) or 16 kg zinc sulphate monohydrate (33% ) per acre this quantity is sufficient for 2-3 years.
