Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to assess the performance of groundnut genotypes under different sowing windows during rabi season under ICAR-AICRP on groundnut at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Hiriyur during 2023-24. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with three replications consisting of three sowing windows as vertical factor and four varieties as horizontal factor. Groundnut sown on 48th MW (Meteorological week) recorded significantly higher pod yield (1937 kg ha-1) and at par with 52nd MW (1890 kg ha-1). Among the varieties, KL-1812 recorded significantly higher pod yield (2240 kg ha-1) and was at par with K-6 (2061 kg ha-1). Among the interactions the variety KL-1812 sown on 48th MW recorded significantly higher pod yield (2472 kg ha-1) which is found to be on par with KL-1812 sown on 52nd MW (2396 kg ha-1) and variety K-6 sown on 48th MW (2250 kg ha-1).
