Practice Name:

Increasing Production of Groundnut Crop

Details
Category	Crop Production
Crop	Groundnut
Crop Family	Fabaceae
Scientific Name	(Arachis hypogaea)
Vernacular Name	peanuts, mufali, china badam
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	supernatant of buttermilk, spraying pump
Details of Innovation	After sowing, in 20 to 25 days, the flowering of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) starts and again, in another 10 days, the initiation of pegs takes place. The plant produces flowers above and pods under the soil. At this time, if the supernatant of buttermilk is sprayed on the crop, it will produce more flowers with more number of pods and hence production per acre is increased. In one acre of land, 10 litre capacity pump is sufficient for spraying. The effect of this treatment can be seen within a day and it lasts for the next 10 days. This practice has been in use for about a decade.
