Abstract
At the Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Zaid season 2022, a field experiment was carried out. The experiment consisted of 10 distinct treatments using three replications of a Randomized Block Design for the management of Gypsum and Zinc nutrients. Evaluation of the "Effect of gypsum and foliar application of zinc on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)" was the major goal of the experiment. Gypsum levels were 200, 300, and 400 kg/ha. In contrast, three levels of zinc were applied topically at 2000, 3000, and 4000 ppm. From the current experiment, it can be inferred that Gypsum 400 kg/ha + Zinc 4000 ppm can ensure the profitable production of groundnuts. (T9).
