A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Utukur, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India, during rabi seasons of 2016 and 2017 to test the efficacy of rhizobium inoculation along with fertilizers in popular varieties of groundnut dharani and K-6. The results indicated that, the two test varieties were equally performed regarding number of branches, pods per plant and pod yield in both the years. Different fertilizer levels of 100 and 125% RDF with or without rhizobium did not significantly influence the plant height, number of pods per plant and pod yield. Lower dose of 75% RDF without rhizobium recorded significantly lower yield parameters of number of pods per plant and pod yield. | Efficacy of rhizobium on the productivity of rice fallow groundnut
