Abstract
ABSTRACT
The present investigation entitled “Effect of organic manures on the
growth and yield parameters of Pisum sativum under wild pomegranate
based agroforestry system” was conducted in the Department of Silviculture and
Agroforestry under College of Forestry, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture
and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during year 2020-21 on newly
developed wild pomegranate based agroforestry system at Pandah farm. The
investigation was aimed at determining the effect of organic manures on the
growth and yield parameters of Pisum sativum and on the soil physico-chemical
properties. Four treatments used in the experiment were T1: Recommended dose
of fertilizers (RDF), T2: FYM, T3 : Goat manure and T4: Control and their effect
on two varieties of Pisum sativum i.e. Pusa Pragati and JK-124 Hybrid was
studied. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design (factorial).
The results of the study found that among organic manures treatment T3 (goat
manure) showed the best results for various growth and yield parameters of Pisum
sativum. Among both the varieties variety V1 (Pusa Pragati) was found to be
statistically superior over variety V2 (JK-124 Hybrid). Soil physico-chemical
properties were found to be improved under wild pomegranate based agroforestry
system compared to the initial values as influenced by the application of organic
manures.
