Abstract

During the kharif season of 2021, a field experiment was conducted in field located at Sambaravalli pudhur, Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu. The purpose of the experiment was to identify an appropriate groundnut variety for organic cultivation and examine the impact of difsferent organic inputs on the growth and yield of groundnut. For this research, three groundnut varieties, namely Girnar 4, TMV 14, and VRI 8, were selected to evaluate the effects of various cultivation practices. The experiment followed a factorial randomized block design. The findings revealed that the treatment involving the application of 5 tons/ha of farm yard manure, along with 1 ton/ha of vermicompost, and foliar application of 3% panchagavya at 15 day intervals, yielded the best results for all groundnut varieties. Among the varieties, TMV 14 consistently exhibited favourable outcomes across all treatments.
