“Reduced Groundnut yield due to fewer pod development” – Are you facing this problem in your groundnut field irrespective of following good agricultural practices?
If so, you may be confused why it is happening and what steps you can take to overcome it. Whether you are already cultivating groundnut or planning to do so, read further to understand the underlying reason behind it and find the effective solution for enhanced crop productivity.
These circumstances ultimately result in a significant decline in both yield and the overall quality of the crop.
Improving the productivity and quality of groundnut involves considering numerous factors, including proper water management, effective weed management, appropriate nutrient management and pest and disease management. While these elements are crucial, an often-overlooked aspect is harnessing the power of hormones to elevate the quality and yield of groundnut pods.
Paclobutrazol is a plant growth retardant which acts by inhibiting gibberellin synthesis resulting in reduced vegetative growth, reducing internodal growth to give shorter stems, increasing root growth, flowering and increases the yield. Use Cultar or Taboli along with good cultural practices to stimulate the flowering, pegging and increase the yield.
Paclobutrazol Product | Dosage | Time of Application |
Cultar or | 0.3 – 0.5 ml/lit of water | 1st spray: 40 – 50 DAS 2nd spray: 65 – 70 DAS |
