Abstract
The field experiment was conducted at student instructional farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture Technology, Narendra Nagar, Kumarganj Ayodhya (up), during rabi season 2020-21 to evaluate the response of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) to fertility level and micronutrients. Three fertility level viz. F1: 40kg P, F2: 60kg P + 20kg S and F3: 80kg P + 40kg S ha-1 and four micronutrients’ levels viz. M0: Control, M1: 2.0 kg Zn ha-1, M2: 0.3% B ha-1 and M3 : 2.0 kg Zn ha-1 + 0.3% B ha-1 were comprised in split plot design with three replication. The pea variety ‘Rachna’ was taken as a test crop. The soil having pH (1:2.5) 8.2 EC 0.35 dSm-1, organic carbon 3.60 g kg-1, available nitrogen 188.9, P2O5 14.5 K2O 255, S 13.3 kg ha-1, Zn 0.43 and boron 0.39 mg kg-1. The maximum growth yield attributes and yield (grain 21.22 and straw 30.40 q ha-1) were recoded with application of F3: 80kg P + 40kg S ha-1 which was significantly superior over F1 and statistically at par with F2. The maximum growth, yield attributes and yield (grain 21.74 and straw 36.01 q ha-1) were recorded with application of M3:2 kg Zn ha-1+0.3% B ha-1 which was significantly superior over M0 and M2 and statistically at par with M1. Same trend was also recorded in nutrients content, uptake and quality of grain. The maximum gross income (120289) and net return 81444 and benefit cost ratio (2.30) work out the treatment combination F2 M3: 60kg P + 20kg S, 2 kg Zn ha-1+ 0.3% B ha-1.
