perform one hand weeding at 30-35DAS (i.e. flower

initiation stage) followed by earthing up to promote easy

penetration of pegs into soil.

Leaf spot Warm weather with intermittent rain is congenial for the

development of leaf spot in groundnut. Spray

carbendazim (0.05%) + mancozeb (0.2%) at 2-3 weeks

intervals after the current spell of rain if dark spots are

seen on the leaf.
