Role of phosphorus, zinc and rhizobium on growth and yield of field pea (Pisum sativum L) var Rachna

The field experiment was carried out at Crop research farm Department of Soil Science SHIATS-DU Allahabad India during season of November to March 2014-15. The experiment was laid out in 3×3 factorial randomized block design with 9 treatments in three replications. It was observed that the best yield attributes characters in treatment T8 (P60+ZnSo4 20+Rhizobium100g10kg-1 of seed) in respect to different days intervals i.e. 30, 60, and 90 days after sowing (DAS). Plant height was 20.24, 50.28, 109.53 and 132.87 cm found to be significant at 60, 90 & 120 DAS but non-significant at 30 DAS. Observed that the Best yield attributes characters in treatment T8(P60+ZnSo4 20+Rhizobium100g10kg-1 of seed) in respect to different days intervals i.e. 30, 60, and 90 days after sowing (DAS) no. of leaves plant-1 were 21.81, 47.77, and 98.00 found to be non-significant at 30 DAS but significant at 60, and 90 DAS, nodules plant-1 were 21.30, and 23.27 found to be significant at 30,60 & 90 DAS, It was observed that the best attributes characters in treatment T8(P60+ZnSo4 20+Rhizobium100g10kg-1 of seed) in respect to different days intervals i.e.30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS), Pod plant-1 was 4.53,15.77,18.97 found to be significant at 60,90 & 120 DAS number of flower plant-1 at 60 DAS best attributes characters in treatment T8(P60+ZnSo4 20+Rhizobium100g10kg-1 of seed) at 21.33 found to be significant, found highest seed yield (qn ha-1),number of seeds pod-1, number of 100g weight pea, Harvest index, and Protein(%) found in T8(P60+ZnSo4 20+Rhizobium100g10kg-1 of seed) which was 12.73, 6.53, 19.00, 48.67, & 20.63 found to be significant.
