Abstract
The experiment was carried out at college of agriculture, karekere, hassan agricultural farm during year June 2022 to November 2022. The objective of this investigation was to study the effects of five different treatments nipping, passing empty drums, withhold of irrigation, nipping without irrigation and remaining cultural practices done at 20,20,30,30 and 30 days after sowing on the number of branches and yield of groundnut. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used in this experiment. The data was recorded based on different treatments on above mentioned days before and after sowing. The recorded results were observed as follows: no of branches recorded were nipping, passing of empty drums, withholding of irrigation, nipping without irrigation and following usually recommended practices were 19,21,15,21 and 15 respectively. The yield obtained in different treatment plots were 46.6, 53.9, 38.4, 58.5 (failure due to heavy rain) and 38.4 Q/ha, respectively. So, by observing the above results, we can conclude that the passing empty drums method showed high branches and high yield compared to other treatments. So, this cultural treatment can be recommended to farmers for increasing both yield and branches.
