Type: article
Abstract: To eradicate the malnutrition problem and improve the protein deficient diet and low yield of pea, it is necessary to increase pea production per unit area on sustainable basis to meet the requirement of increasing population of the nation. In view of that, experiment was executed to examine the response of four different organic manures viz. farmyard manure, vermicompost, castor cake and poultry manure as a source of nitrogen with or without chemical fertilizers like phosphorus and potassium and biofertilizer i.e. PSB were tested during the year of 2012 and 2013. The outcome of experiment revealed that, significantly maximum protein content (23.09 %, 22.98 % and 23.04 %) was recorded with T18 during both the years of experimentation (2012 and 2013) and in pooled analysis, respectively. The significantly maximum length of pod (8.23 cm) was noted with T12 (Recommended dose of N as Farm Yard Manure + P and K) in the year 2012. Whereas, during year 2013 and in pooled data T16 recorded maximum length of pod (8.38 cm and 8.38 cm). Significantly maximum ascorbic acid (10.17 mg/100g and 10.08 mg/100g) was recorded with T16 during the year 2012 and in pooled analysis, respectively, however, T15 (Recommended dose of N as Vermicompost + P and K + PSB) with 10.10 mg/100g during the year 2013.
