Abstract: Present investigation was carried out at AICRP on groundnut, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of three levels of recommended dose of fertilizers viz., 100 %, 75 % and 50 % and biofertilizers viz., rhizobium (liquid) rhizobium (solid), phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, and control. The rhizobium (liquid) significantly increased the quality attributes viz., number of mature and immature pods plant-1, 100 kernel weight, shelling percentage, resulting in significant increase in groundnut yield (5540.33 kg ha-1) due to treatment rhizobium (liquid) as compared to control (4556.00 kg ha-1). The 100 % RDF recorded significantly higher yield of groundnut (5423.00 kg ha-1) over 75 % and 50 % RDF. Based on one year of experimentation, it could be concluded that the growing of RHRG-6021 variety of groundnut under inoculation of rhizobium (liquid) with 100 % RDF found significantly superior for higher yield and monetary benefit during summer season.
