The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farm of College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur (HP) during November, 2020 to March, 2021. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications at spacing of 60×10 cm in a plot size of 1.8×1.0 m accommodating 30 plants in each plot. The experiment comprised of seventeen treatment combinations of organic manures and biofertilizers.The results revealed that treatment combination of Rhizobium+PSB+FYM was best for most of the characters like days to marketable maturity (95.00 days), plant height (77.66 cm), number of root nodules plant-1 (27.66), number of primary branches plant-1 (13.40), number of pods plant-1 (23.13), pod length (8.43 cm), pod weight (7.78 g), number of seeds pod-1 (8.13), pod yield plant-1 (97.06 g), pod yield plot-1 (2.90 kg), harvest duration (27.66 days), shelling percentage (50.16%) and protein content (11.62%) followed by RDF and combination of Rhizobium+PSB+Vermicompost. The highest gross income (` 2,57,760 ha-1), net income (` 1,76,720 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (2.18) were recorded by the treatment combination of Rhizobium+PSB+FYM. Hence, biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium and PSB when applied along with FYM in pea cultivation, they enhance the growth, yield and quality of the produce.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
