The field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Kadiri, Scarce Rainfall Zone of Andhra Pradesh during rabi-summer season during 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study yield maximization of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through nutrient management practices. The factors considered were application of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) in various combinations. Application of 150% RDF as basal + FYM @ 7.5 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher pod yield and haulm yield (2775, 4787 kg-1ha, respectively) over 100% RDF as basal (2361, 4420 kg/ha, respectively). Significantly higher number of pods per plant and hundred pod weight, hundred kernel weight, Shelling %, SMK was also recorded with application of 150% RDF as basal + FYM @ 7.5 t ha-1.
