Abstract: The study was carried out to determine the effect of iron, molybdenum and Rhizobium on biological properties of soil in summer groundnut. The field experiment comprised of eighteen treatment combinations with three levels of iron 0,5 and 10 kg Fe ha-1, three levels of molybdenum 0,1 and 2 kg Mo ha-1 and two levels of Rhizobium: without Rhizobium and with Rhizobium inoculation were studied with GG-34 variety of groundnut in randomized block design in factorial concept with three replications. Among the all the treatments application of 10 kg Fe ha-1,1.0 kg Mo ha-1 and seed inoculation with Rhizobium proved superior over other treatments.
Keywords: Iron, Molybdenum, Rhizobium, Groundnut
