A field experiment was conducted at Dry Farming Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Targhadia (Gujarat) during kharif seasons of 2013 to 2016 to ascertain the effect of nutrients management modules for minimizing drought impact and groundnut yield maximization in rainfed conditions. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten different treatments viz., T1-Absolute control, T2-Water spray-no nutrients, T3-Foliar spray of water soluble fertilizer @ 1 % (NPK-19-19-19) at 30 to 35 DAS, T4-Foliar spray of Fe & Zn micronutrients @ 1 % at 30 to 35 DAS, T5-Foliar spray of water soluble fertilizer @ 1 % (NPK-19-19-19) and Fe & Zn micronutrients @ 1 % at 30 to 35 DAS, T6-Foliar spray of selenium @ 20 g/ha at 30 to 35 DAS T7-Foliar spray of 2 % Urea at 30 to 35 DAS T8-Foliar spray of KNO3 2 % at 30 to 35 DAS T9 Foliar spray of KNO3 2 % at 60 DAS T10 Foliar spray of 2 % Urea at 30 to 35 DAS + KNO3 2 % at 60 DAS were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The farmers of North Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing groundnut GG-20 are advised to make foliar spray of 2% urea at 30 to 35 DAS for obtaining higher productivity and maximum net returns and improving water use efficiency under dry farming conditions.
