Results indicated that green manuring + neem cake @ 10 q/ha + seed treatment by Trichoderma viridi @ 4g/kg seed gave the highest germination (97.9%), lowest plant mortality (7.3%) and highest seed yield (3.47 kg/plot) of table pea. It was followed by seed treatment + soil treatment with T. viride @ 1 kg mixed with 20 kg FYM for soil treatment and 4g/kg seed treatment with T. viride gave 94.3% germination, 11.7% plant mortality and seed yield of 3.03 kg/plot. There was no significant difference in treatment such as green manuring + seed treatment by T. viride @ 4g/kg seed and green mannuring + neem cake @ 10.0 q/ha. While the application of only neem cake @ 10.0 q/ha and farmer's practice of seed treatment by thiram @ 2g/kg seed were on par.
