A field experiment was carried out on nutrient’s denuded sandy-loam soil under moisture-stress condition, during rainy and winter seasons of 1996-97 and 1997-98. Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) - wheat (Triticum aestivum L. amend. Fiori & Paol.) cropping system showed that the integrated use of recommended dose of N-20, P-30 and K-45 + FYM @ 100 q + gypsum @ 300 hg/ha resulted in significantly higher pod yield (9.38 q/ha), followed by N-20, P-30 and K-45 + FYM @ 100 q + gypsum @ 300 kg + neem leaf powder @ 100 kg/ha (9.28 q/ ha). The growth and yield-contributing traits of groundnut were consistent to pod’s yield. The residue of N-20, P-30 and K-45 + FYM @ 100 q + gypsum @ 300 kg + neem leaf powder @ 100 kg/ha and application of N-80 + P-40 to wheat gave higher grain yield of wheat by 46.24 q/ha than other treatments under late-sown condition. The growth and yield-contributing characters noted in wheat were concordant to the grain yield.
