Abstract

This study was undertaken to evaluate the integrated nutrient management on growth and yield attributes of garden pea. There are significant differences were observed in all treatments. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. Among the seven treatments evaluated it revealed that the maximum plant height (57.68 cm), number of branches (16.78) and number of nodes on the main branch (8.47) were recorded in the treatment T7 100% RDF. The lowest number of days of first flowering recorded in the (28.88 days) and days of 50 % flowering was recorded in treatment T3 – 75% RDF+ FYM (5t /ha) + Vermicompost (1.5 t/ha) + Azotobacter (5kg /ha). Whereas yield attributing characters, number of green pods per cluster (8.60), total number of pods per plant (16.78), Pod length (8.89cm), pod diameter was recorded (4.15 cm), 100 seed weight (29.54 g), Average pod weight (6.64g) and pod yield per plot (12.54 kg) was recorded Treatment T3 – 75% RDF+ FYM (5t /ha) + Vermicompost (1.5 t/ha) + Azotobacter (5kg /ha).

Conclusion

It could be concluded from the present investigation that, integrated nutrient management significantly influenced the growth and yield of garden pea (Arkel). Among the different levels of integrated nutrient management maximum growth and yield of garden pea were obtained from treatment T3 (75 % RDF + FYM (5 t/ha) + Vermicompost (1.5 t/ha) + Azotobacter (5 kg/ha).
