dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Nutritional status of pea (Pisum sativum L.) growing under ZBNF vis-à-vis conventional farming in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh’’ was carried out during 2020-2021 in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh with the objective to evaluate the soil quality and plant nutrient contents under different farming system and work out the relationship between soil nutrients status and plant nutrient concentration. A preliminary survey of district Solan was conducted and three blocks were identified for soil and plant sampling. The 30 representative surface soil samples along with plant samples (15 each of conventional and ZBNF farming system) from same site were collected and analyzed. Pea growing soils of Solan district under conventional farming system had significantly higher available primary and secondary nutrients as well as micronutrients compared to the ZBNF farming system. The N, P and K were recorded 5.21%, 14.69% and 10.27%, respectively, higher under conventional farming as compared to ZBNF farming system. Similarly, secondary nutrients viz. Ca, Mg and S were recorded 7.62%, 12.21% and 16.64%, respectively, higher under conventional farming system as compared to ZBNF farming system. However, organic carbon was recorded 22.85% higher under ZBNF as compared to conventional farming system. Viable microbial count (45.72×105 cfu g-1 bacteria, 6.73×103 cfu g-1 Fungi and 9.28×103 cfu g-1 Actinomycetes) were also recorded higher under ZBNF compared to conventional farming system. Further, conventional farming system recorded higher macro as well as micronutrients in leaf compared to the ZBNF farming system. Consequently, yield of pea was significantly higher (109.67 q ha-1) under conventional farming system as compared to ZBNF (92.07 q ha-1) but cost economics favoured ZBNF.en_US
