Abstract:
The investigation was carried out to study the effect of zinc and iron ferti- fortification on plant height, yield and quality parameters of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes. Among the groundnut genotypes, ICGV-00351 recorded significantly higher plant height at harvest (40.05 cm), pod yield (2656 kg ha-1 ) and quality parameters viz., protein and oil yield (427.72 and 935.25 kg ha-1 , respectively) as compared to other genotypes. Among micronutrients application, significantly higher plant height at harvest (42.09 cm), pod yield (2656 kg ha-1 ) and quality parameters viz., protein and oil yield (427.72 and 935.25 kg ha-1 , respectively) as compare to other treatments.
