RABI CROPS
Groundnut
Groundnut is one of India’s most important oilseed crops and a major source of edible oil.
It is also a valuable food and cash crop that supports farmer income and rural livelihoods.
Being a legume, it helps improve soil fertility through Nitrogen fixation and fits well in crop rotations.
Why Your Groundnut Needs Phosphorus?
Root development
& nodulation
Phosphorus promotes strong root growth and enhances nodulation, which is critical for biological Nitrogen fixation in groundnut.
Energy transfer
& early growth
It is essential for ATP formation, supporting early plant vigor, better establishment, and flowering.
Pod development
& yield
Adequate Phosphorus improves peg formation, pod development, and ultimately enhances yield and oil content.
