Boron is the yield-limiting factor for groundnut production in sandy loam soils of Madurai district, Tamil Nadu. Therefore a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of boron on availability of boron on nodulation, dry matter production and quality of groundnut in boron-deficient soil series of the Madurai district in a randomized block design with three replications. Twelve treatments were included and the results revealed that the application of 15 kg/ha of B as soil application and 0.5 per cent of B as foliar application at critical stages of crop growth along with the recommended dose of fertilizers resulted in maximum nodule count and dry matter production. Regarding the quality the application of soil (15 kg/ha) and foliar B (0.5%) along with RDF recorded the highest oil and protein content as compared to the other treatments.
