A Study On Impact Of Physiological Parameters On Growth And Yield Performance Of Garden Pea

Abstract

In summary, the growth and yield performance of garden pea (Pisum sativum) is intricately shaped by a complex interplay of physiological parameters. Key factors such as sunlight intensity, duration, and quality directly impact the cornerstone process of photosynthesis, influencing biomass accumulation. Water uptake, transpiration, nutrient uptake, temperature, and hormonal regulation collectively contribute to the intricate web of elements determining the success of pea crops, especially during critical stages like flowering and pod formation. Studies on growth parameters highlight the significance of traits like pod yield, shelled percentage, and genetic variability in overall yield shaping. Correlation and path analyses further underscore the importance of specific characteristics such as pod weight per plant, number of pods per plant, and plant height in influencing crop productivity. This comprehensive understanding emphasizes the necessity for tailored management strategies encompassing irrigation practices, nutrient optimization, and varietal selection to maximize the growth and yield potential of garden pea crops.
