Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on groundnut during Zaid 2022 at crop research farm of SHIATS, Allahabad to find out the effect of foliar spray of liquid organic manures and spacing on growth and yield of Zaid groundnut. The spacing of 60 x 10 cm along with the application of Panchagavya 3% had significant and positive effect on growth and yield of groundnut with increased plant height, number of branches, plant dry weight, number of pods/ plants, 100 pod weight, seed index and pod yield. Therefore, treatment combination of 60 × 10 cm spacing along with the application of Panchagavya 3% was most productive and cost effective.
