The field experiment carried out during kharif season of 2016 at Agricultural Research Station, S.D. Agricultural University, Aseda, Gujarat to study the Influence of ferros sulphate and zinc sulphate on pod yield of groundnut. Effect of ferros sulphate and zinc sulphate, were tested by soil application and foliar spray for identifying its effect on groundnut pod yield. pod yield was significantly higher under the treatment T9-ZnSO4 @ 8 kg/ha + Foliar Spray of FeSO4 @ 1 %and at par with T7, T1 and T3. Haulm yield also found significantly higher under the treatment T9- ZnSO4 @ 8 kg/ha + Foliar Spray of FeSO4 @1 % which was at par with the treatment T3 and T1.
