ABSTRACT
The study entitled “Studies on the effect of natural farming practices on growth and
quality parameters of pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was carried out at Experimental Block of Soil
Science in year 2020-21, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan.
The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design on pea cv. Pusa Pragati consisting 7
treatments and 3 replications viz., T1 (100% RDF), T2 (3 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 5% jeevamrit @
15 days interval), T3 (2 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 10% jeevamrit @ 15 days interval), T4 (1 t ha-1
ghanjeevamrit + 15% jeevamrit @ 15 days interval), T5 (3 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 5% jeevamrit
@ 30 days interval), T6 (2 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 10% jeevamrit @ 30 days interval), T7 (1 t ha-1
ghanjeevamrit + 15% jeevamrit @ 30 days interval). The results of the investigation revealed
that not only significantly increased the growth and quality parameters of pea as well as soil
macro and micro nutrients by the treatment T3 (2 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 10% jeevamrit @ 15
days interval), whereas, maximum yield was recorded under T1 followed by treatment T3
statistically at par with T2 and Maximum B: C ratio was recorded under T3 respectively.
Application of 2 t ha-1 ghanjeevamrit + 10% jeevamrit @ 15 days interval may be recommended
as most effective nutrient module for pea cultivation and sustaining soil health
