Effect of Organic Manures and Biofertilizers on Growth, Yield and Quality of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Abstract

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.

Effect of Different Types of Organic Manures and Mulching Materials on Growth, Yield and Quality of Carrot (Daucus Carota L.) in Diguna Fango Woreda, South Ethiopia

“…Through this respiration in the plant system, reserve food materials are converted to simple soluble components that can be utilized for growth or maintenance. These ndings are in good accordance with the results of Kumar (2013) and Umuhoza et al (2014).…”

“…The improvement in yield attributes through FYM + PM with grass mulch might be due to improved soil moisture holding capacity, soil moisture, and soil temperature; adequate availability of major and micronutrients due to favorable soil conditions; and an increase in the rate of photosynthesis, which further increases vegetative growth and yield by providing additional sites for the translocation of photosynthesis. These results are in accordance with the ndings of Kumar (2013) Okokoh and Bisong (2011) reported similar ndings that higher yields of roots in carrots were obtained when 15 t FYM ha − 1 and 15 t PM ha − 1 were used. This could be because nitrogen is the major constituent of chlorophyll, proteins and amino acids, the synthesis of which is accelerated by the increased supply of nitrogen in soil (Allok et al, 2022).…”

Effect of iron and zinc enriched organics on available nutrient status of soil after harvest of potato in loamy sand

“…The biological properties of soil and also transformation of their solid phase form to soluble matalocomplexes may be due to mineralization of native as well as own nutrient content by creating favourable conditions for microbes. The results are in agreement with those of Sutaria et al (2011) [11] , Kumari et al (2012) [3] and Sharma (2016) [9] .…”

Influence of Vermicompost and Foliar Applications on Growth, Physiological and Yield Parameters of Irrigated Blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper)

“…The application of fertilizers had a significant impact on the growth and yield attributes, as it increased the availability of essential nutrients to the plants. Was reported by Kumari et al [13].…”
