Effects Of Organic And Inorganic Fertilizers On The Growth, Yield And Soil Properties Of Field Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)

Abstract

The experiment entitled “Effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield and soil properties of field pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was conducted at research’s field and laboratories of Uttaranchal University, Department of Agriculture, Dehradun (Uttarakhand). The experiment is carried out during the rabi season of December 2022 to March 2023. The present research investigates at the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield and soil properties of field pea (Pisum sativum L.). The study's goal is to give useful information about the usage of organic and inorganic fertilizers optimization to improve pea crop performance. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Data on growth characteristics, quality traits, and yield components were gathered and examined statistically. The results demonstrated significant differences in plant growth, quality, and yield variables between treatments. The results indicate that the use of VC (Vermicompost), RH (Rhizobium), FYM (Farm Yard Manure) and NPK, influenced the growth, quality, and yield of the plants. The experiment was carried out in Randomized block design (RBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications included VC (Vermicompost), RH (Rhizobium), FYM (Farm Yard Manure) and NPK). The variety of pea used was Arkel. Experimental observation on crop growth parameters, yield attributes and quality parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically.
