To study the ?Effect of improved management practices on factor of productivity on Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Cultivation?. Application of recommended dose of fertilizer (25:50:25 NPK+ Gypsum @ 500kg ha-1 at 30 DAS) along with micro nutrient (ZnSO4@ 25 kg ha-1 \& Borax @ 10 kg ha-1 at basal application) gave higher growth characters viz., plant height, leaf area plant-1 , total dry matter plant-1 , leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, and yield attributes \& yield viz., number of pods plant-1 (37.02), weight of pods plant-1 (32.70 g), pod yield(1633.95 kg ha-1 ), haulm yield (2059.89 kg ha-1 ) of groundnut crop. Whereas, lower growth characters, yield attributes \& yield were observed in only recommended dose of fertilizer (25:50:25 NPK+ Gypsum @ 500kg ha-1 at 30 DAS).} }
