A field experiment was conducted at the dryland farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati during rabi, 2016 to study the effect of organic manures viz., FYM and neem cake and organic sources viz., Panchagavya, Jeevamrutha and Ghanajeevamrutha along with 100 % recommended dose of fertilizers on growth, yield attributes and yield of rabi groundnut. Application of 100 % recommended dose of fertilizers (30-40-50 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1) resulted in improved growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of groundnut. Among the organic sources tested, application of 100% organic N through FYM (60 %) + Neem cake (40 %) + Seed treatment with ghanajeevamrutha + Foliar spray of panchagavya @ 3 % at every 10 days interval upto 15 days before harvest recorded significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of groundnut compared to application of 100% organic N through FYM (60 %) + Neem cake (40 %).
