Abstract: The research work carried out earlier has shown the effective installation of mole drains at various depths. The effect of mole drainage system on the crop parameters are studied on soybean. The mole plough manufactured last year studied and evaluated for its performance at various depths. The effect of the mole plough developed needs to be studied from the crop point of view so the present study undertaken to study the effect of mole drains spacing on summer groundnut yield. A tractor 65 HP was selected to make drains of 2m, 4m and 6m. The effect of mole drain spacing at 2 m, 4 m and 6m plot without drain i.e. control were studied by standard procedure and following conclusions were made. The plant height, No. branches per plant, No. of pods per plant, weight of pods per plant was highest in 4 m drain spacing followed by 6m, 2m and control plot. The total yield of groundnut was highest in 4m mole spacing followed by 6m, 2m and control and the total yield in 4m drain was 69.20% more than the control.
