EFFECT OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF WATER SOLUBLE PHOSPHONITRILE DERIVATIVES IN DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS ON YIELD OF GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.)

India is one of the highest ranking countries in the world for the number of children suffering from malnutrition. This problem is due to insufficient intake of micronutrients through staple foods. Micronutrients are various essential elements such as Ca, Zn, Mg, Fe and Cu required by organism in small quantities to maintain health. The present investigation entitled “Effect of foliar application of water soluble Phosphonitrile derivatives in different concentrations on yield of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)” was conducted at the Organic Research Farm, Karguanji, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Basic Science, Bundelkhand University Jhansi (U.P.) During the year 2021-22 in Kharif season. The experiment was comprised of seventeen treatments which were laid out in Randomize Block Design with three replications. Result showed that the quality parameters like no. of pod, no. of seeds and yield of the crop was recorded maximum in treatment with PNC (T9 to T16) comparision to treatments with NPK (T1 to T8). However, all quality parameters are noticed minimum in treatment T17 (Control). There was a positive linear relationship between growth/yield and phosphonitrilic derivatives, the best yield was obtained with T16 hence this was recommended for the production of groundnut in the study area.
