Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the research field of Department of Agronomy,
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from
September, 2014 to January, 2015 with a view to study the growth and yield of
groundnut varieties as affected by different levels of calcium and application time.
The experiment was carried out in split plot design considering three varieties i.e. V
