Abstract: An experiment was conducted during summer-2017 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the effect of different organic sources on protein content, nutrient uptake of summer groundnut [Arachis hypogaea L.] and soil nutrient status under organic farming.†The soil of experimental field was loamy sand in texture, low in organic carbon (0.30 %) and available nitrogen (142.5 kg/ha), medium in available phosphorus (43.41 kg/ha) and available potash (253.02 kg/ha) with soil pH of 7.7. Different twelve treatments comprising of application of nutrients through different organic sources viz., FYM, castor cake, NPK consortium, Rhizobium + PSB. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated three times. Groundnut variety TG 37 was used as test crop. An application of 1.0 t/hacastor cake + Rhizobium + PSB (T12) gave significant impact on increment of protein content in kernel (22.81 %) and remained at par with treatments 1.0 t/ha castor cake, 1.0 t/ha castor cake + NPK consortium, 2.5 t/ha FYM + Rhizobium + PSB, 5.0 t/haFYM + Rhizobium + PSB and 0.5 t/ha castor cake + Rhizobium + PSB. In case of nitrogen and phosphorus content and uptake, application of 1.0 t/hacastor cake + Rhizobium + PSB surpassed rest of the treatments bearing maximum values of content and uptake of N and P. Significant improvement in available N (166.93 kg/ha) and P2O5 (53.97 kg/ha) status in the soil after harvest of the crop were observed with the application of 1.0 t/ha castor cake + Rhizobium + PSB over rest of the treatments.
