dc.description.abstractA field experiment was carried out to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in pea (Pisum sativum L.) under sub-montane and low hills subtropical zone of Himachal Pradesh at the Experimental Farm of the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur, (HP) during rabi season 2019-20 in a randomized block design with eleven treatments replicated thrice. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, neutral in reaction, medium in organic carbon, low in available N, medium in P and K at the initiation of the experiment. The treatments consisted of control (T1), 100 % RDF (T2), VC @ 10 t ha-1 (T3), 75 % RDF + VC (T4), 100 % RDF + VC (T5), PM @ 10 t ha-1 (T6), 75 % RDF + PM (T7), 100 % RDF + PM (T8), FYM @ 10 t ha-1 (T9), 75 % RDF + FYM (T10) and 100 % RDF + FYM (T11). Surface soil samples collected after the harvest of pea (Rabi 2019-20) from each plot were analyzed for different physical (bulk density, particle density, porosity and water holding capacity) and chemical properties (pH, EC, OC, available N, P, K, S, exchangeable Ca, Mg and DTPA extractable Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn). Grain and stover samples were also collected and analyzed for nutrient content to work out their uptake and quality of pea grain was also assessed. The results revealed that combined application of fertilizers and manures significantly influenced the plant height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, shelling percentage, pod yield, stover yield and seed yield and nutrient uptake by pea. The treatment comprising of 100 % RDF + poultry manure @ 10 t ha-1 (T8) recorded the highest plant height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, shelling percentage, pod, stover and seed yield. However, this treatment was closely followed by the treatment receiving 75 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer + poultry manure (T7). Moreover, addition of organic manures along with recommended dose of fertilizers improved the soil health in terms of physico-chemical properties of soilen_US
