Effect of various organic manures on growth, flowering and pod picking of pea (Pisum sativum L.)

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of the year 2020–21 at Horticulture Research Block, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand to study the “Effect of various organic manures on growth, flowering and pod initiation of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)”. The experiment was consisted of the nine treatments of different combination of organic manures and those were replicated three times before applied randomly in 27 plots under Randomized Block Design (RBD). Observations on various attributes of growth and yield were recorded at 30, 60 days after transplanting and at final harvest. The outcome uncovered that the application of Farmyard manure @10t/ha + Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + Cow urine @ 50% demonstrated significantly higher plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, days taken to first flowering, days taken to first pod picking and total number of pod picking. On the basis of the findings it can be accomplished that different organic manures with combination of FYM @10t/ha +VC @5t/ha +CU @50% (T₈) was found to be most efficient.
