abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi session of 2020-21 in Jaunpur district which lies Indo-Gangetic plains of Central Uttar Pradesh to study the effect of phosphorus levels on growth and yield of different Pea varieties (Pisum sativum L.). The trial was laid out in factorial randomized blocks design (FRBD) with three replications. The treatment in concert of two factors first factor viz. V1 (Malviya-2), V2 (Aparna), V3 (Sapna), V4 (Rachna) and second factor viz. P0 (0 kg P2O5), P1 (20 kg P2O5), P2 (40 kg P2O5), P3 (60 kg P2O5), P4 (80 kg P2O5). The result revealed that the maximum growth characters viz., plant population, plant height (cm), total number of branches plant-1 and days to 50% flowering were recorded on V3 (Sapna) and minimum values was recorded with V1 (Malviya-2). The yields attributing characters viz., number of pods plant-1, pod weight plant-1, number seed pod-1 and test weight (g) were also recorded higher under variety of V3 (Sapna) at par with V1 (Malviya-2). The pea variety V3 (Sapna) was gave significantly highest seed yield (q ha-1), straw yield (q ha-1), harvest index (%) and B:C ratio as compared to other. Among the Phosphorus levels 80 kg P2O5 ha-1 was found better in case all growth and yield parameters which was followed by 60 and 20 kg P2O5 ha-1. Interaction effect was found significant in respect to pod weight plant-1, test weight (g). Variety V3 (Sapna) sown under 80 kg P2O5 ha-1 gave significantly higher values. It may be concluded that V3 (Sapna) with 80 kg P2O5 ha-1 is possible to produce more yield in field pea cultivated under Indo-Gangetic plains of central Uttar Pradesh.
