Every year total cultivable land of the country is turning into nonagricultural land at the rate of 0.73% (Molla, 2016), while total population is projected to be 201.3 million by 2051 (El-Saharty et al., 2014). So, meeting food demand by maintaining soil health is a great challenge. Pulses are the second most important group of crops after cereals (Chandra et al., 2020). So, it is the high time to conduct research on pulses. Pulses are rich source of protein and play a significant role in correcting the prevalent malnutrition in the country like Bangladesh and India (Singh et al., 2015). Among the pulses, fieldpea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important grain legume in the Asia, Europe, North America, Japan and Australia but in Bangladesh, fieldpea is going to be a major pulse crop within a few years (BBS, 2016). It is the second most important legume crop of the world (Pawar et al., 2017). Garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) belongs to the family Fabaceae is one of the world's oldest domesticated crops cultivated before 10th and 9 th millennia BC (Zohary and Hopf, 2000). It is highly nutritive which contains high proportion of digestive protein Article History
