The Present investigation entitled “Effect of organic sources of Nutrients on growth, yield and quality of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was carried out during Rabi season of 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replicated and ten treatments viz., Control, Farm yard manure @ 5tonn/ha, Farm yard manure @ 10tonn/ha, vermicompost @ 5tonn/ha, vermicompost

@ 10ton/ha, neem cake @ 0.5tonn/ha, neem cake + FYM @ 5tonn/ha, neem cake + FYM @ 10tonn/ha, neem cake + vermicompost @ 5tonn/ha and Neem cake + vermicompost @ 10tonn/ha. The observations were recorded on plant height (cm), number of branch per plant, number of nodules per plant, fresh and dry weight of nodule at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing number of pod per plant, number of seed per plant, grain and straw yield (q/ha), protein content (%) in grains and straw, soil analysis before and after harvesting. The results revealed that Maximum number of height and branch,

(25.70 cm, 51.69 cm and 64.59 cm) and (9.21, 10.86 and 11.82 respectively) was recorded at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing in the treatment of neem cake + vermicompost @ 10tonn/ha T10. The maximum number of nodules was recorded T5 (vermicompost @ 10tonn/ha) at different stages i.e. 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing. The maximum number grain and pods per plant found in Neem cake + vermicompost @ 10 tonn/ha T10. Thus it can be concluded from the finding that application of neem cake + vermicompost @ 10tonn/ha can be recommended for commercial cultivation of Pisum stivum (variety Arkel). Thus the use of this combination, get good returns.
