An application of irrigation at 80 to 85% ASM [available soil moisture] in conjunction with 60 kg P2O5/ha increased the growth contributory characters such as height, number of leaves, number of branches, spread of plant and in effect dry matter/plant thereby finally producing highest dry pods of 21 q/ha and 27 q/ha of creepers. Antitranspirants viz., PMA [phenyl mercuric acetate] and Atrazine were equally effective. Concentration of 5 ppm of antitranspirants was found to be effective in enhancing dry pod yield of summer groundnut.
