    (International Network for Scientific Information, 2007-10) Chandrasekaran, R.; Somasundaram, E.; Mohamed Amanullah, M.; Nalini, K.; Thirukkumaran, K.; Sathyamoorthi, K.
    Field experiments were conducted at Coconut Research Station, Aliyarnagar, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, during kharif 2004 and 2005 to find out a suitable confectionery groundnut variety and optimum quantity of Farmyard manure required for maximizing the groundnut yield. The treatments comprised of four varieties viz., CO 3, VRI 2, TG 41 and TG 42 and four levels of FYM viz., 12.5 t ha-1, 15.6 t ha-1, 18.8 t ha-1 and 21.9 t ha-1. The results revealed that among the different confectionery groundnut varieties, the variety CO 3 recorded the highest DMP, pod yield (2438 kg ha-1), haulm yield (4390 kg ha-1), net return and BCR (3.01). Among the different quantities of FYM tested, application of 21.9 t ha-1 (175 % recommended level of FYM) recorded the highest DMP, pod yield (2476 kg ha-1), haulm yield, net return and BCR (2.87).
