Abstract:
In the winter (Rabi) season of 2022-23, a field experiment was conducted at the Research farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) to investigate the impact of organic manure on the yield and uptake of N, P, K in pea. The experiment comprised ten treatments employing a randomized block design with three replications. The study revealed that T₉ (40kg N/ha through VC 27.2q/ha) demonstrated that as the levels of organic manure increased, there was a consistent enhancement in root nodulation, yield attributing characters, and nutrient uptake in seeds. The highest number of root nodules (22.59), fresh and dry weight of root nodules (48.34 and 39.03, respectively), number of pods per plant (14.62), pod length (8.64 cm), number of grains per pod (7.56), pod weight (6.29 g) and yield (49.77 q/ha) of pea crop. Furthermore, the uptake of nitrogen (24.12 kg/ha), phosphorus (4.62 kg/ha) and potassium (6.69 kg/ha) were also highest in the same treatment (T₉).
