Introduction • Groundnut known as poor man’s almond. • Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is cultivated predominantly in the tropics and subtropics. • In India, it is cultivated on area of 5.53 M ha with production of 9.67 M tones and productivity of 1750 kg ha-1 during 2013-2014 (AICRPG, 2015). • In Gujarat, it is grown on 16.86 lakh hectares area with production of 27.17 lakh tonnes and 1662 kg ha-1 productivity. • The wide difference in productivity of groundnut in our country as compare to that in USA (3540 kg ha-1) and China (2664 kg ha-1). • During the summer season, there is a higher yield potential of groundnut in Saurashtra and Kutch region of Gujarat State.
Among the various agronomic practices, nutrient management has an important role in maximizing the pod yield. • The situation has changed materially during the last decade with fast depletion of fossil fuel, naphtha resulting in exorbitant cost of chemical fertilizer. • The efforts should have to be made for proper utilization of costly chemical NPK fertilizers with their efficient use. • The reduction in NPK fertilizer can be fulfilled through supplementation with organic manures and bio fertilizers.
Objective To study the effect of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of groundnut. To quantify the role of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers on uptake of nutrients by groundnut.

Conclusion Based on field experimentation, it can be concluded that, higher growth, yield attributes, yield, quality and uptake from bold seeded summer groundnut can be secured by application of 75% RDF(18.75-37.50-37.50-15 kg N-P2O5-K2O-S ha-1) + 25% N through FYM (1.25 t ha -1) + Biofertillizer (Rhizobium and PSM @ 10 ml kg-1 seed) on calcareous clayey soil of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone of Gujarat
