Effect of Biofertilzers on Growth and Yield Attributes of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

A field experiment was carried out to assess the growth and yield characters of pea cv Arkel. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications for pea crop consisting 15 treatments namely, RDF of NPK (25: 70: 50) kg/ha, Azospirillum+50% N and RDF of P and K, Azospirillum+ 75% N and RDF of P and K, Azospirillum+ RDF of NPK, PSB+ 50% P and RDF of N &K, PSB+ 75% P and RDF of N&K, PSB+ RDF of NPK, Rhizobium+50% N RDF of N&K, Rhizobium+ 75% N and RDF of P&K, Rhizobium+ RDF of NPK, VAM+ 50% P and RDF of N&K, VAM+ 75% P and RDF and N&K, VAM+ RDF of NPK, PSB+ Rhizobium +50% NPK, PSB+ Rhizobium+ 50% NP & full dose of K to find out the effect of bio fertilizers, inorganic and its combinations on days to germination, number of plants per plot, plant height (cm), days to flowering, number of flowers per plant, days to first fruit harvest, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, length of leaf (cm), shelling percentage, weight of 10-pods (g), seed weight (g), yield per plot, length of pod (cm).However, The application of inorganic and biofertilizers, treatment – T₁-(Rhizobium and RDF of NPK), showed superior among all treatments under investigation.
