Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of rice husk mulching on the yield of local variety pea (Makhyatmubi) Pisum sativum L.” was conducted during the rabi season of 2017-2018 in the research farm of College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal. The treatments comprised of one control (T₁) and six levels of rice husk mulching viz, T₂, T₃, T₄, T₅, T₆ and T₇ with 10q/ha, 20q/ha, 30q/ha, 40q/ha, 50q/ha and 60q/ha respectively which were laid out in RBD with three replications. The different levels of rice husk mulching in the experiment had shown significant effects on the growth parameters. Among them, rice husk mulching with 60q/ha (T₇) had shown the most significant effect on growth parameters such as plant height, number of branches and yield except days to 50% flowering.
