Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, SHUATS, Prayagraj, during rabi 2019 on loamy sand soil. The experiment consisted of 9 treatments combinations which were replicated thrice and laid out in a RBD of three levels of NPK (0 % NPK, 50 % NPK and 100 % NPK), three levels of Zn (0 % ZnSO4, 50 % ZnSO4 and 100 % ZnSO4). The results showed that progressive increase in the growth of (Plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, number of branches) and in yield, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, and Pod yield (q ha-1) in application of T8 (NPK 100 %, Zn 100 % 40: 80:40 Kg NPK+20 Kg Zn ha-1) of Pea [Pisum sativum L.] were found to be the best treatment combinations.
