Field experiments were carried out for three consecutive years conducted during2016, 2018 and 2019 during kharif season at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural ResearchStation, Babbur farm, Hiriyur, Karnataka, India to study the alleviation of moisture-deficitstress in groundnut by application of endophytic bacteria under rainfed conditions. Theexperiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication and eighttreatments. The pooled results of three years revealed that treatment having DGREB-3 culturewith intercultural operations significantly recorded higher pod yield (1022 kg ha-1) ascompared to control (693 kg ha-1) and it is on par with any DGREB culture (T2) with twointercultural operations (909 kg ha-1). Any DGREB culture with two intercultural operationssignificantly recorded highest nodulations at 30 and 60 days (50.2 and 57.8) as compared tocontrol (20.6 and 33.7). In case of higher gross returns (Rs. 46,565), net returns (Rs. 16,997)were recorded with DGREB-3 culture with intercultural operations. Whereas highest B:C(1.66) was recorded with any DGREB culture with two intercultural operations.
