Abstract/Description: | Though groundnut can be grown under diverse agroclimatic conditions, in India, it is mainly grown under semiarid region where there is a great pressure of drought, mineral deficiencies, insect pests and diseases. More over due to its underground pod bearing habit groundnut farmers prefer light-textured soils which are generally deficient in most of the macro- and micro-nutrients (Kanwar et al., 1983; Singh, 1999). These mineral deficiencies, occurring mainly in young and developing leaves as chlorosis, cause severe yield losses and their intensity has been increased with the introduction of high yielding groundnut varieties. Application of fertilizers and micronutrients either in soil, seed or through foliar applications are the main corrective measures, but these are not long lasting and have to be applied with every crop (Singh,1999). As farmers has to grow the crop for years together with reasonable yields under sustainable farming system, there is a need to relook and exploit the organic farming approaches using the local manurial sources for growing groundnut without using much of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As the bold seeded groundnut are mostly exported and used for purpose and should be pesticide free these approaches are more needed for bold seeded groundnut. Therefore, field experiment was conducted to study the various organic farming approaches for groundnut cultivation with an objective to meet the nutrient requirement and to produce pesticide free groundnut. |
