Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Palem, Nagarkurnool district situated in the Southern Telangana Zone of Telangana state during Rabi 2018-19on Mechanization in groundnut. There was a great variation between Farmer’s Practice and Complete Mechanization. Mechanization treatment recorded significantly higher pod yield (3246 kg ha-1) over farmer’s practice (2524 kg ha-1).It was revealed that 14245 MJ ha-1 energy was consumed by Complete Mechanization and 15065 MJ ha-1 by Farmers Practice. B:C ratio of Complete Mechanization and Farmers Practice is 3.45 and 2.26 respectively. It was concluded that mechanization is a prerequisite in groundnut for achieving higher productivity with reduced cost of cultivation.
