The suitable package of practices developed by Dr. B. S. Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli for groundnut crop in Konkan have the highest groundnut productivity (1800 kg ha-1) over national productivity during rabi. The different package of practices with suitable varieties for groundnut in different zones of India also recorded higher yields. Roha, Dist.
