Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during kharif to study “Foliar nutrition in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) At under rainfed situation. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and ten foliar treatments of major nutrients.Among the various foliar treatments net returns ( ₹ 108730 ha^-1) and B: C ratios (4.12) were the higher in foliar spray of 2.0% urea + DAP + MOP combination at 45 DAS followed by foliar spray of 19:19:19 ( ₹ 108095ha^-1 and 4.12, respectively). Similarly, yield parameters and yield such as 100 pod weight (117.65 g), total number of pods plant^-1 (28.37), 100 kernel weight (42.19 g), pod yield (3746 kg ha^-1), kernel yield (2905 kg ha^-1), haulm yield (4253 kg ha^-1) and harvest index (0.36) were also higher in foliar spray of 2.0% urea + DAP + MOP.Oil content (46.73%), protein content (27.65), oil yield (1356kg ha^-1) and nutrient uptake (209.66 kg N, 32.25 kg P₂O₅, and 357.95 kg K₂O) were significantly higher in foliar treatment compared to control.
