Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2021 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) to investigate the effect of liquid organic manure and spraying schedule on growth and yield of Field pea. The treatments consists of liquid organic manure (panchagavya 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5%) and spraying schedule (every 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days) whose effect is observed on Field pea (var. RACHANA). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments replicated thrice. The treatment with the application of Panchagavya 7.5% + Every 7 days recorded significantly higher plant height (100.29 cm), number of Nodules per plant (27.60), plant dry weight (32.45 g), number of pods per plant (23.53), number of seeds per pod (4.93), Seed index (22.01 g) Seed yield (2.77 t/ha), Stover yield (3.70 t/ha) and Harvest index (42.50%) compared to other treatment combinations. The maximum gross return (INR 257300.00/ha), net return (INR 192150.00/ha) and B:C ratio (2.95) is recorded in treatment with the application of panchagavya 7.5% + Every 7 days as well.
