A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season 2004–05 in a sandy clay loam soil to study the effect of inorganic fertilizers, organic manure and bio-fertilizers on growth, yield attributes and yield of field pea (Pisum Sativum L). It was observed that with increasing levels of inorganic fertilizers increased growth, yield and yield attributing characters. Farm yard manure @ 20t ha−1 and Rhizobium inoculation significantly increased the plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, root length (cm), pod per plant, pod length (cm), seed per pod, test weight, dry matter production, seed and stover yield over control.
