Abstract
Samples of peanut plants from 5 selected villages of Ludhiana and Kapurthala (Punjab, India) were analysed for P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and B. The dominant nutrient deficiencies were of B > K > S > Zn> P >Mn> Cu. Potassium and magnesium seem to interact antagonistically for their absorption. The inherent low status of nutrients in these soils appears to be the reason for their wide‐spread deficiency and consequent low yield of peanut crop.Keywords
