Abstract

Among the various combinations of inorganic (I N) and organic nutrition (ON) to dwarf pea (Pisum sativum L.), superimposition of 50% nitrogen (equivalent to 20 kg N) through vermicompost over the recommended dose i.e 40-17-16-20 kg N-P-K-S ha−1 (100% IN + 50% ON) resulted in significantly higher values for yield, harvest index, B: C ratio, protein and nutrient content. Seed inoculation with biofertilizer(Rhizobium + PSB + PGPR) in combination with application of Zn was also conducive forthese parameters. Moreover, the interaction between the 100% IN + 50% ON fertility level with biofertilizer + Zn gave significantly higher grain yield.
