Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Sciences and Technology, To determine “Response of Nitrogen Management on Growth and Yield of Groundnut’’ The result revealed that treatment 6 [75% Nitrogen through poultry manure + 25% Nitrogen through urea] recorded significantly higher plant height (42.28 cm), maximum number of nodules/plant (21.06), higher plant dry weight (28.44 g), maximum number of pod/plant (28.31), higher number of kernels/pod (2.87), higher seed index (41.50 g), higher seed yield (3.30 t/ha), higher haulm yield (8.04 t/ha) and higher harvest index (29.95%).
