Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Polythene mulching significantly enhanced pod, haulm and kernel yields of peanut over no mulch.
- Intervention effect Polythene mulching ensured higher partial factor productivity, water productivity and net return in peanut than no mulch.
- Intervention effect Polythene mulching ensured higher soil moisture content at flowering, pegging and pod formation stages of peanut than no mulch.
- Intervention effect Polythene mulching ensured higher N, P and K uptake in peanut than no mulch.
- Intervention effect Among fertigation treatments, F2 was better than F1 in improving pod, haulm and kernel yields of peanut.
- Intervention effect Among fertigation treatments, F2 was better than F1 in improving oil yield of peanut.
- Intervention effect Among fertigation treatments, F2 was better than F1 in improving P uptake of peanut.
- Intervention effect Maximum partial factor productivity of peanut was recorded under fertigation treatment F1.
- Intervention effect Maximum water productivity and net return of peanut were recorded under fertigation treatment F4.
- Intervention effect Maximum soil moisture content was recorded under fertigation treatment F4 in peanut.
- Intervention effect Maximum N and K uptake of peanut were recorded under fertigation treatment F4.
- Intervention effect Alkaline phosphatase activity was better sustained in fertigation treatment F3 than in F1 and F2 in peanut.
- Intervention effect Soil N, P and K status improved under the mulching and fertigation treatments in peanut.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that mulch and fertigation can be adopted in peanut at farmers' fields, implying judicious use of water and nutrients and assuring a good yield and net profit.
