Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the student instructional farm of CSAUA&T, Kanpur, during the Rabi season of 2021-22 and 2022-23. Sandy loam was the texture of the experimental soil. There are twelve treatment involving combinations of phosphorus and biofertilizers with three replication of factorial randomized block design (FRBD). A fieldpea variety IPFD 6-3 was planted according to recommended agronomic practices. The results of these studies indicate that fieldpea cultivation over a two-year period is consistent with T12 (P90 R1 PSB1), the most economically effective treatment and also recorded the highest economics parametric values i.e., maximum cost of cultivation of ₹39006 & ₹39751, gross return of ₹ 106055 & ₹118535, net return of ₹67049 & ₹ 78784 and benefit to cost ratios were 1.72 & 1.98 followed by the treatment T11.
