Abstrakt: A field experiment on effect of per cent available soil moisture and rainfall on rainfed groundnut yield under middle Gujarat was conducted at agronomy farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2019 and year 2020. Results showed that first date of sowing (onset of monsoon) was significantly superior for growth and yield character due to well distributed rainfall and per cent available soil moisture. Significantly higher pod yield (2176 kg ha-1 and 1862 kg ha-1) was recorded during both years of the experiment under first date of sowing which was statistically at par with second date of sowing (1937 kg ha-1 and 1592 kg ha-1) and significantly higher than the third date of sowing (1614 kg ha-1 and 1369 kg ha-1). The higher rainfall and more per cent of available soil moisture content was recorded in first date of sowing during 2019 and 2020. The result also showed that the final yield of groundnut crop was greater during 2019 as compared to 2020 due to higher per cent available soil moisture and rainfall. Among the varieties, GG 20 recorded significantly higher pod yield (2043 and 1701 kg ha-1) over other varieties (GJG 34 and TAG 3A). Hence, variety GG 20 is promising under onset of monsoon (first date of sowing) in terms of pod yield in middle Gujarat agro climatic zone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
